Religion
1 Samuel 10:26: The good in man is not his own
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
The good in man is not his own.
But freely flows fi-om grace alone.
If to the right our hearts incline,
They own a secret touch Divine;
And Britain's boasted loyalty,
O King of kings, is all from Thee.
