1 Samuel 2:7: Great God, who dost the proud abase
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Great God, who dost the proud abase.
And giv'st to humble souls Thy grace,
Bring down my nature's virtuous boast,
And lay mine honour in the dust;
Then answer a mere sinner's cry,
Where in the lowest deep I lie.
Then from the gates of hell bring back.
And save me for my Saviour's sake.
