We have few glimpses
of the ensuing time
In what evangelists
were moved to write:
We see the day when
as the holy Child
Within the temple
Jesus was proved to find
His Father's
business the motive of His life;
We know His growth
was normal, yet sublime;
We know His deeds
were normal, yet divine;
The prophet shows
He learned to choose the right
While in obedience
spurning the vile.
God loved to see a
manhood undefiled
And loved to feel
His perfect ways entice
The open heavens to
tell of God's delight.
