Proverbs 10:20: The men to sin and Satan sold
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
The men to sin and Satan sold
Desert us in the trying hour;
The miser sells his friend for gold.
The' ambitious barters him for power,
The sensualist for joys impure;
But while their flight the worldlings take,
The friendship of that man is sure
Who loves our souls for Jesu's sake.
