Psalm 97:10: The Lord that I sincerely love
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
The Lord that I sincerely love
My hate of sin alone can prove;
But in my unregenerate state
Evil alas, I cannot hate;
Yet drawn by Him, He knows I would
Evil abhor, and cleave to good.
And God who gives me these desires,
Will give whate'er Himself requires.
