Exodus 9:12: There needed, Lord, no act of Thine
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
There needed, Lord, no act of Thine,
If Pharaoh had an heart like mine:
One moment leave me but alone.
And mine alas, is turn'd to stone!
Thus if the blessing Thou restrain,
The earth is harden'd by the rain
Withheld: and thus, if God depart,
Jehovah hardens Pharaoh's heart!
