John 18:37: All that to the truth belong
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
All that to the truth belong
The Saviour's word believe,
Manna dropping from Thy tongue
With humble joy receive;
Listening to Thy voice fulfil
The law of liberty and love,
Serve Thy good and perfect will
As angels do above.
Be it all my business Lord,
While here on earth I stay
Gladly to attend Thy word
And faithfully obey:
Thou to me Thy Spirit give,
And taught by His anointing, I
Witness of the truth shall live,
And in its service die.
