Religion
Numbers 25:17: Thy word, O God, as right and just
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Thy word, O God, as right and just
We faithfully receive,
Who wouldst, that no enticing lust
Should unmolested live:
A Midianife we will not spare,
(If Thou Thy grace supply,)
But all that did our souls ensnare
On Jesu's cross shall die.
