John 17: This is lift eternal, that they might know Thee, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
In peace Divine unspeakable
The' angelic happiness we feel,
The life enjoy'd by saints above,
If Thou, His co-eternal Son
The Father in Thyself make known
And tell our hearts that God is love:
Soon as Thou dost Thy Spirit impart,
The one true God we know Thou art,
Our Prophet, Priest, and King receive,
Sent to restore our paradise,
With Thee we mount above the skies,
With Thee even now in heaven we live.
