Religion
Genesis: Is it a moral sense in man
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Is it a moral sense in man,
Reason, or pride, or virtue's power.
Which doth from passion's rage restrain,
And save us in the' unguarded hour?
No; but a secret force of Thine,
O Christ, preserves through ways unknown
Withheld from sin by grace Divine,
I give the praise to God alone.
