Numbers 16:10: Raised from the people's lowest lees
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Raised from the people's lowest lees,
Guard, Lord, Thy preaching witnesses,
Nor let their pride the honour claim
Of sealing covenants in Thy name:
Rather than suff"er them to dare
Usurp the priestly character,
Save from the arrogant offence.
And snatch them uncorrupted hence.
