Who in the Saviour sent confides

Who in the Saviour sent confides,
In him th’ ingrafted word abides,
He hath the great Jehovah seen,
And heard the voice of God to man;
By faith th’ Unsearchable he knows,
And daily in the knowledge grows,
Till pure from sin his soul ascends,
And faith fill’d up in vision ends.
