Song 82: Concerning the Formation and Renovation of the Soul
Who knowledge did to man impart,
That ray of light divine?
Who did with wisdom fill his heart?
Was this thy work or mine?
To man a noble soul is giv'n
With shining pow'r supply'd;
More bright than all the stars of heav'n,
To angels fair ally'd.
The sun above the light doth bring,
Though seen in air below;
From light divine the soul doth spring,
Her pow'rs in flesh to show.
The God of nature did impart
This intellectual mind;
The God of grace renews the heart,
With light and sight refin'd.

Her pow'rs in flesh to show.
The God of nature did impart
This intellectual mind;
The God of grace renews the heart,
With light and sight refin'd.
