EN 4096 The Life Which God’s Incarnate Word
John.1.14
Versi Version 1
1
The life, which God’s Incarnate Word
Lived here below with men,
Three blest evangelists record
With Heav’n inspired pen.
2
John soars on high, beyond the three,
To God the Father’s throne;
And shows in what deep mystery
The Word with God is One.
3
Upon the Savior’s loving breast
Invited to recline,
’Twas thence he drew, in moments blest,
Rich stores of truth divine.
4
And thence did that angelic love
His inmost spirit fill,
Which, once enkindled from above,
Breathes in his pages still.
5
Jesu, the virgin’s holy Son,
We praise Thee and adore,
Who art with God the Father One
And Spirit evermore.
