Religion
Psalm: Long enthrall'd to low desires
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Long enthrall'd to low desires,
Stubborn, impotent, and vain,
Heavenward now my heart aspires,
Struggles now to burst its chain:
Set my heart at liberty,
Then my feet shall swiftly move,
In the paths prescribed by Thee,
Pleasant paths of perfect love.
