Religion
Genesis 8: An heart to no one sect confined
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
An heart to no one sect confined,
But compassing the ransom'd kind,
Capacious of the Deity,
And grasping all Thy gifts and Thee.
Almighty to persuade Thou art,
Thou Friend of helpless woe,
Persuade me with my sin to part,
To let my misery go;
Persuade me to repent, believe,
Thine easy yoke to prove,
And then into Thine arms receive
The captive of Thy love.
