[The God of love our nature bore]

He saw other two brethren, James . . . and John, &c. —iv. 21.

The God of love our nature bore,
Not to destroy it, but restore:
The Friend of human race
Delights to make His goodness known,
And joins a pair by nature one
In closer ties of grace.
Whom nature joins He often parts,
To claim our undivided hearts,
Our faithfulness to prove,
To manifest His grace below,
That feeble worms may feel, and know
The wonders of His love.
