Hosea 9:15: Loved for a time, they might have been
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Loved for a time, they might have been
For ever loved by Thee:
Nothing can separate but sin
Betwixt my God and me:
From sin, from wilful sin alone.
Saviour, my soul defend,
And Thou who freely lov'st Thine own,
Shalt love me to the end.
