[As members of that heavenly Man]
Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye, &c.
—viii. 23.
As members of that heavenly Man
Christians indeed are from above,
Not of this world of shadows vain,
We our celestial country love:
Let worldlings love the things below,
A noble good to us is given,
That all our spotless lives may show
The spirit, and the taste of heaven.
