Genesis 3:15: Father, inspire my alter'd heart
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Father, inspire my alter'd heart
With hatred of the serpent's seed,
Of all his works, and all his art,
Of sin in thought, and word, and deed:
Fix the good Si)irit in my breast.
The mind of Christ I then shall prove.
Evil with all my soul detest.
And love Thee with a perfect love.
