Yet we, with Peter, own The Saviour's sovereign right, Thou all things knowst, O God alone In wisdom infinite: And when to me thou art Discover'd from above, I too shall answer from my heart Thou knowst that thee I love. "No man hath SEEN GOD at any time." John i. 18. "Philip saith unto him, Lord SHEW US THE FATHER ... hast thou not SEEN ME, Philip? He that hath seen ME hath seen THE FATHER." Ibid., xiv. 8, 9. He that hath seen th' Incarnate Son, All which of Christ was visible, Hath seen the Father too, and known (What flesh and blood could not reveal) Jehovah is in Jesus' name, With God substantially the same. He hath beheld the person join'd To God invisible, supreme, He doth the Father's nature find The plenitude divine in him, Who hath to all his followers shown "I and my Father are but one." Page 30 Jesus, thou Son of the Most High, To me, ev'n me vouchsafe the grace To see by faith's internal eye, Jehovah shining in thy face: Explain the mystery to my heart, And bid me then in peace depart. So when thou dost with clouds appear In all thy dazling majesty, These eyes of flesh shall see thee here, Without a veil the Godhead see, My forehead shall thy name receive, And glorious I for ever live. "But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that HE IS EXCEPTED which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be SUBDUED UNTO HIM." 1 Cor. xv. 27. "We look for THE SAVIOUR the Lord JESUS CHRIST ... who is ABLE even to SUBDUE ALL THINGS TO HIMSELF." Phil. iii. 20, 21. All things unto Christ, as man, By another are subdued; But we stedfastly maintain He that other is, as God: He can, as Jehovah's Son, All things to himself subdue: Jesus sitting on his throne Makes our universe anew. Jesus, Son of the Most High, Power omnipotent is thine; Lord of all in earth and sky; Vindicate thy right divine; Conquer this rebellious heart: Then I know, in love renew'd, Thou, my present Saviour, art The One, true, eternal God.
