Religion
Psalm 17:5: Hold tip my goings in Thy paths, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Lord, if Thou let the sinner go,
My old tyrannizing foe,
Will re-usurp the power.
Unless Thou every moment stay,
I sink insensible away,
I fall to rise no more.
But if by Thy sufficient grace,
Thou support me in Thy ways,
My footsteps shall not slide:
I shall my bosom-sin eschew,
And steadily through life pursue
Mine everlasting Guide.
