Is this the man who answered, Lord

Verse 1
Is this the man who answer’d, Lord,
Tis thine eternal life t’ impart,
Thou art the Christ by heaven ador’d,
Son of the living God thou art,
Thee we believe, and surely know
Jehovah manifest below.

Verse 2
Betray’d by pride insensible,
Whate’er of knowledge we possess,
Of faith divine, or fervent zeal,
We may be robb’d of all our grace,
May in a moment forfeit all,
And like presumptuous Peter fall.
