Religion
1 Samuel 5:3: Great is the truth, and must prevail
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Great is the truth, and must prevail
O'er error, and the gates of hell.
While Dagofi, tumbled from his shrine.
Bows down before the ark Divine,
And Satan's kingdom falls before
Our Prince whom earth and heaven adore.
