[The words Thou dost from God declare]

He whom God hath sent speaketh the words. —iii. 34.

The words Thou dost from God declare
Pure life, and quickening Spirit are,
Their own divinity they prove,
The' eternal Truth, and Power, and Love:
Our penetrated hearts agree
Never was man that spake like Thee,
God over all the Speaker own,
And seat Thee on Thy favourite throne.
