JOSEPH

Who should in truth be named Zaphnath-paaneah,

Who is not only the Saviour from all evil,

By whom the power of sin has been defeated,

As crucified where, spiritually, is Egypt

To bring His own into eternal freedom,

Not only He who has sustained His people

- His very flesh the food that has been eaten -

To keep them in another modus of being

But He who, come from God, is the Revealer

Of God’s great love and His abundant secrets

Which, till He came, were in profound concealment?

None could sustain this splendid name but Jesus.
