Religion
Isaiah 9:5: Not like the warring sons of men
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Not like the warring sons of men,
N i shouts and garments roll'd in blood,
Our Captain doth the fight maintain;
But lo! the burning Spirit of God
Kindles within a secret fire.
And all our sins, as smoke, expire.
