[At length the time is quite fulfill'd]

Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went, &c. —vii. 14.

At length the time is quite fulfill'd,
The moment come, when God had will'd
To manifest His Son;
Jehovah in the temple seen,
Begins to' instruct the sons of men,
And make the Godhead known.
The Christ foretold by ancient seers,
The Lord in His own house appears,
To hear and not declaim,

401

To answer all His love's design,
And with authority Divine
Declare His Father's name.
By Thy example, Lord, repress
Our ministerial forwardness,
And teach us when, and where,
And how, our office to fulfil,
And the whole counsel of Thy will
Before the world declare.
