Religion
Job 15:14: Of woman born, of flesh alone
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Of woman born, of flesh alone,
Man must be filthy and unclean.
Draughts of iniquity drink down;
For all his heart and soul is sin:
But changed, and purified by grace,
A witness of the Spirit's power,
He sees his Saviour's smiling face.
And born of God, he sins no more.
