HYMN 265. Our Saviour's Rapture.
Our Father, &c.
Mat. 11.2, 25. Luk. 10.20. John. 5.23.
WHen John the Baptist (free from doubt)Sent two of his Disciples out,To ask our Saviour, and to knowIf he were very Christ or no,Tell John said Christ, what things they beWhich ye your selves do hear and see.
The Blind receive their cheerfull sight,The Lame are heal'd, and walk upright,Deaf hear, and Lepers cleansed are;The Dead rais'd up: these things declare;And while by Worldly-Wise despis'd,The poor are taught and gospeliz'd.
I thank thee, Father, from my heartThe Lord of Heaven and Earth that art:
descriptionPage 289
Because thy wisdom hath seen goodThese things should not be understood:But hid from wise and prudent men,And hast to babes revealed them.
Even so, O Father, let it be,Since so it seemed good to Thee,For what so seemeth in thy sight,Must needs be holy, just and right.God onely wise have praise therefore,From first to last for evermore.
