[The grain of wheat, the quicken'd grain]
When Jacob heard that there was corn in, &c.
—vii. 12.
The grain of wheat, the quicken'd grain,
Which life and strength to man imparts,
Which doth immortal souls sustain
And cheers and glads our drooping hearts,
We find in Jesus Christ alone,
To all that seek by faith made known.
We hear the word which faith conveys,
That corn is still in Egypt found,
That mercy rich and gospel grace
Doth for the worst of men abound,
And sinners taste their Lord reveal'd,
And Heathens with His love are fill'd.
