Religion
Zechariah 4:6: Not by our best endeavours vain
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Not by our best endeavours vain,
Not by the strength of nature's will,
Shall we that great salvation gain,
And all Thy righteous law fulfil:
But strengthen'd by Thy Spirit's might,
We shall Thine utmost counsel prove,
And humbly walk with Christ in white,
Unblamable in spotless love.
