1 Samuel 5: Idols may triumph for an hour
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Idols may triumph for an hour,
But vanquish'd by almighty power
They to the living God shall bow:
And Dagon stoops to Jesus now;
And till an end of sin I see,
Corruption bows to grace— in me.
