THOUGHTS ON JOHN (IV)

Though the Saviour went to die,

First He gave His loved ones rest:

At the supper see John lie

In His bosom, on His breast.

Jesus answered the request

Of the one who drew so near

Where His love had cast out fear

In His bosom, on His breast.

One make then could take that place

But in times of faith and grace

You can be divinely blest

In His bosom, on His breast.
