Page 256 "What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter." John xiii. 7. Do what thou wilt; it should be so: Thy works I shall hereafter know, (When death the veil remove) Unwind the providential maze, And gladly own that all thy ways Are wisdom, truth, and love. "If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me." John xiii. 8. We have no benefit from thee, Unless thy blood, by faith applied, Redeem from all iniquity, And throughly purge thy ransom'd bride: But if thy blood to flesh convert This unbelieving heart of stone, Mine own assuredly thou art, Thou art eternally mine own. "I have given you an example." John xiii. 15. Thou hast a lovely one indeed, A perfect pattern given; Ah, give us in thy steps to tread, And bear38 our cross to heaven. "If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them." John xiii. 17. What avails it, Lord, to know, And not to do thy will? This is all my joy below, Thy pleasure to fulfil, This my pure delight above; This happiness to me be given, To do the will of him I love, I ask no other heaven. 38Ori., "hear"; corrected in errata.
