Genesis 49:4: Unstable as water, thou shall not excel
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Unstable, Lord, by nature 1,
And weak as water am,
Till Thou empower me to rely
On Thine almighty name:
Excelling then in holiness
I never shall remove.
Firm as the Rock of Israel's peace.
The rock of heavenly love.
