CHAPTER III. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
1678.
[The everlasting God is He]
What He hath seen and heard, that He, &c.
—iii. 32.
The everlasting God is He,
And was from all eternity,
Who on His Father's bosom lay
And doth on earth His form display;
The things He saw, and heard, and knew,
Of these He bears a record true,
Discovers the redeeming plan,
And shows the heart of God to man.
And was from all eternity,
Who on His Father's bosom lay
And doth on earth His form display;
The things He saw, and heard, and knew,
Of these He bears a record true,
Discovers the redeeming plan,
And shows the heart of God to man.
Freely He left His throne above,
To tell the world that God is love;
Yet few the saving truth receive,
Or dare on Jesu's word believe;
Not one of our unfaithful race
Doth of himself his Lord embrace,
But all reject whom God hath given,
The Witness, and the Man from heaven.
