Religion
Genesis 3: They heard the voice of the Lord God walking, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Not on the whirlwind's wings He flies.
Not in the thunder's voice He speaks,
But that the fallen man may rise,
The Lord His ruin'd creature seeks:
Not in the burning blaze of day,
(For fury hath no place in Him.)
But placid as the evening ray,
He comes, to sentence, and redeem.
