1Jn_3:14-18
He whose whole religion lies in words is a hypocrite worthy of the scorn of all mankind. Above all things let us be real in all that we do.
Behold, what wondrous grace
The Father hath bestow’d
On sinners of a mortal race,
To call them sons of God!
Nor doth it yet appear
How great we must be made;
But when we see our Saviour here,
We shall be like our Head.
If in my Father’s love
I share a filial part,
Send down thy Spirit, like a dove,
To rest upon my heart.
