John 14:11: That Thou art God Most-High

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

That Thou art God Most-High
Thy actions testify,
Proof Divine Thy wonders give.
Lives the Father in the Son,
Thou dost in the Father live,
Both inexplicably one.

Yet must I more desire,
And different proof require;
Sovereign, everlasting Lord,
If almighty love Thou art,
Speak the soul-convincing word,
Fix the Witness in my heart.

Then shall my actions show
That God resides below,
In His genuine children seen,
By His Spirit's traits display'd;
He who seals the sons of men
Makes the members like their Head.
