[O Jesus, we adore Thee!]

I came forth from the Father, and am come, &c. —xvi. 28.

O Jesus, we adore Thee!
From all eternity,
There was no God before Thee;
There is no God but Thee:
Thee by Thine incarnation
Made manifest below,
The God of our salvation
The Son of Man we know.
Thy days of flesh are ended,
And to Thy Father's breast
Thou art again ascended,
In Thy own joy to rest:
Thy sanctifying Spirit
Thou wilt to us send down,
And we shall soon inherit
Thine everlasting throne.
