The Priests and Levites sent to John

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: John 1:19-28 Lyrics: 1 The Priests and Levites sent to John, They ask'd of him to know: Art thou the great Messiah come? The pow'r on earth to show. 2 Art thou Elias, tell us plain, What office dost thou bear? We must report to those again: Those who have sent us here. 3 The Jews supposed John to be Their Saviour and their Lord! But John replied I am not he, I only bear record. 4 As the great Prophet hath declar'd, I am the voice that cry, My voice is in the deserts heard: Your prince of life is nigh. 5 Prepare your gracious Lord to meet! Submit unto his ways; And truly humbled at his feet, Obtain his pard'ning grace. 6 O! could we be like unto John, Submissive, humble, meek, To honour none but christ alone And none but him to seek.
