Religion
Genesis 3: She saw; she took; she ate
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
She saw; she took; she ate;
Death enter'd by the eye:
And parleying in a tempted state,
We lust; consent; and die!
But all mankind restored
Their Eden may retrieve:
And lo, by faith we see our Lord,
We touch, and taste, and live!
