Job 12:2: Howe'er in humble words we all
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Howe'er in humble words we all
Infallibility disclaim,
Yet every church and party call
Themselves, the consort of the Lamb!
"In us the saints, the people see,
The temple of the Lord are we!
"We are the men, mankind must own.
Who faith and purity possess,
Christ is with us, and us alone,"
A thousand jarring sects profess,
And all the Babel- ) x (S.tx cry,
"'isdom and truth with us shall die."
