This only would I learn of you,
Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law?
Or by the hearing, the hearing of faith,
Received ye the Spirit, by hearing of faith.

Are ye so foolish, having begun in the Spirit,
Are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

How often would I have gathered my children,
As a hen doth gather her brood,
Under her wings,
And ye would not,
Oh foolish children and ye would not.

Behold your house is left unto you desolate,
And verily I say unto you.
You shall not see me until you shall say,
Blessed is He that comes in the name,
The name of the Lord,
Blessed is He that comes in the name,
The name of the Lord.

Behold I stand at the door and knock,
If any man hear, hear my voice.
And open the door, I will come in,
And sup with him and he with me.

For verily I say unto you,
You shall not see me until you shall say,
Blessed is He that comes in the name,
That comes in the name, the name of the Lord.
Until you shall say, blessed is He,
That comes in the name, the name of the Lord.
