Religion
Job 34:32: Teach me what I never can
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Teach me what I never can
Without Thy instruction see;
Thou who know'st what is in man.
Show me. Lord, what is in me;
Depths of unbelief reveal,
Self and pride unsearchable.
Manifested by Thy light
That I may m- darkness know,
Shine into my nature's night,
Night profound as that below;
Chase this gloom of hell away,
Shine unto the perfect day.
