NONE KNOWS THE SON BUT THE FATHER

NONE KNOWS THE SON BUT THE FATHER

John Newton



When we arrive in yonder world of light to See him as he is, we shall be ashamed of the highest conceptons we had of him, and of our most labored attempts to express them while we were imprisoned in this distant land. Then we shall say with the queen of Sheba, 'Behold, the half the thousandth part, was not told us.' In the mean time, he is pleased to accept our imperfect stammerings, to assist our feeble inquiries, and does not disdain (as he justly might) to hear us take his name upon our polluted lips.
