Religion

"Thou lovest righteousness and hatest iniquity." -
Psalm xlv. 7.

O WHEN shall I Thy spotless mind,
Thy pure implanted nature feel;
Continually to good inclined,
Continually averse from ill?

Restore me to my first estate.
Renew me. Saviour, from above,
And sin I perfectly shall hate,
And Thee I perfectly shall love.
