Religion
2 Kings: Such is the heart of man to God
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Such is the heart of man to God,
So haiden'd in his bold offence.
As resokite not to be subdued,
Or baffled by Omnipotence!
But from His angry presence driven,
Who will not here His judgments feel,
Unconquer'd by the fire from heaven
They perish by the fire of hell.
