Genesis 4:7: Lusting to shed his brother's blood
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Lusting to shed his brother's blood,
Must Cain to the desire submit?
He might have still superior stood,
And trampled sin beneath his feet:
And may not all, O Lord, embrace
The power o'er sin obtain'd by Thee?
Sufficient is Thy saving grace
For every reprobate, and me.
