Numbers 13:28: How madly rash for puny man
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
How madly rash for puny man,
The world, the fiend, and flesh to' oppose!
Our passions will their sway maintain,
Our terrible gigantic foes:
We must, who doubt the gospel-word.
With Satan and the world comply.
We must, who cannot trust the Lord,
Sin on, till we for ever die.
