Proverbs 23:26: My son, give Me thine heart
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Father, how kind Thou art,
To ask my evil heart!
But yet Thou dost; and I
Have found the reason why:
Thou want'st to make it good,
By washing it in blood,
And then to reign alone
Upon Thy favourite throne.
