[We cannot know the' eternal Son]

Flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, &c. —xvi. 17.

We cannot know the' eternal Son
By all our reasoning powers,
Till God vouchsafes to make Him known,
And shows that Christ is ours:
The Father must the Son reveal
As bleeding on the tree,
And give my sprinkled heart to feel,
My God—He dies for me!
If now I know the Crucified,
Thy Spirit still bestow,
So shall I in the faith abide,
And in the knowledge grow:
301

And when Thou fill'st the measure up,
Father, my soul remove,
And swallow up my faith and hope
In beatific love.
