Religion
2 Samuel 11:4: David sent, and took Bathsheba
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Is this the man to God so dear,
So just, and after His own heart!
O what are saints, the most sincere,
The strongest, if their Lord depart!
Left to ourselves one moment, we
Into the foulest crimes should fall,
And thus our helplessness we see.
And feel that Christ is all in all!
