Thou

John

pleaded Jesus with his Father,when praying for the perfect union of his church.

glorified him with himself.

not equally, but similarly.
as his love to Jesus was.
as being his image.
glory upon us.
He loves us, and therefore assist us, accepts us, and
will reward us by and by.
it calls upon us to be a patient under all his dealings,
even as Jesus was patient;
the very thought should impact and comfort under all
our trials, toils, and sorrows;
we are to exercise confidence in God at all seasons;
for what can he deny us,
if he loved us as he does his only begotten son.
nothing shall alienate his love from us.
Although
the Lord of earth and sky
Knew
what we all should prove,
He
on the Saviors kept his eye,
And
rested in his love.
