1 Kings 20:11: Scarce have we put the harness on
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Scarce have we put the harness on.
When nature thinks, the work is done.
Defies the world and Satan's hosts,
And of her own perfection boasts:
But veterans in the service know
Their work is never done below;
And when to Christ their spirits they give,
They cease at once to fight and live.
