Acts 2:17: The Lord Most-High on earth was seen
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
The Lord Most-High on earth was seen,
The God whom angel hosts adore,
The Word was flesh, and dwelt with men,
His Spirit on all flesh to pour,
Sinners unto Himself to take,
And spiritual of carnal make.
The Spirit of that heavenly Man
Resides in all who now believe,
While fill'd with love, and born again,
His mind and nature we receive,
We put Jehovah's image on,
And then ascend the' eternal throne.
On My servants and on My handmaidens /, &c. — i
After He hath sent His Son
He doth His Spirit send;
Who the benefits unknown
( mi fully comprehend?
Him in whom the Spirit dwells
With all His grace and boundless power
When in us our God reveals,
Our God can give no more!
