Religion
Isaiah 57:20, 21: They must be as the troubled sea
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
They must be as the troubled sea,
They cannot rest who know not Thee,
Whose working hearts, disturb'd within,
Cast up the mire of actual sin:
No peace the wicked e'er can know,
While hastening to their place below,
But trouble must with sin remain,
Sad earnest of eternal pain.
