Exodus 17:3: Would God Himself His people lead
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Would God Himself His people lead,
Intending to betray,
His people out of Egypt freed
With thirst and famine slay?
Our souls into this wilderness
Thou couldst not. Lord, allure.
By keeping back Thy special grace
To make our ruin sure.
