[With milk Thou dost the infants feed]
I have yet many things to say unto you, &c.
—xvi. 12.
With milk Thou dost the infants feed,
Meat to the strong believers give,
In season due, as each hath need
As each is able to receive;
Thou sow'st the seeds of truth sublime
In the dark heart of feeble man,
Thou know'st Thine own appointed time,
Thine own mysterious work to' explain.

Those many things at first unknown,
Thy Spirit shows us where to find
Not by tradition handed down,
By men corrupt, deceitful, blind:
The acts by Thine apostles wrought
Repeating on our hearts He seals,
The truths in their epistles taught,
And in the mystic book reveals.
