[A Child on us bestow'd]
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no
not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Mark xiii. 32.
A Child on us bestow'd,
Not all at once He knew,
But the supreme, omniscient God,
As man, in wisdom grew:
As man, He knew not when
Himself the Judge should come,
And summon all the sons of men
To meet their instant doom.
Not all at once He knew,
But the supreme, omniscient God,
As man, in wisdom grew:
As man, He knew not when
Himself the Judge should come,
And summon all the sons of men
To meet their instant doom.
Yet we, with Peter, own
The Saviour's sovereign right,
Thou all things know'st, O God alone
In wisdom infinite:
And when to me Thou art
Discover'd from above,
I too shall answer from my heart
Thou know'st that Thee I love.
The Saviour's sovereign right,
Thou all things know'st, O God alone
In wisdom infinite:
And when to me Thou art
Discover'd from above,
I too shall answer from my heart
Thou know'st that Thee I love.
