A Thought on John i. 45. and Matt. xiii. 46.
What a pearl have they found who the Saviour have got?
What a pearl do they want who the Saviour have not?
What a pearl do they lose, what a prize do they miss,
Who live without him, and then die without this!
What a pearl do they want who the Saviour have not?
What a pearl do they lose, what a prize do they miss,
Who live without him, and then die without this!
Then let us go seek on Emanuel's ground,
What the patriarch's sought, and in seeking it found:
What apostles and martyrs, elect of his love,
Once felt upon earth, and now feel it above.
What the patriarch's sought, and in seeking it found:
What apostles and martyrs, elect of his love,
Once felt upon earth, and now feel it above.
Christ Jesus the Saviour, their God and their Lord;
Eternal the Son, as incarnate the Word!
Whom angels acknowledge, and saints shall adore,
As God over all, and the blest evermore.
Eternal the Son, as incarnate the Word!
Whom angels acknowledge, and saints shall adore,
As God over all, and the blest evermore.
