Matthew 5:27: Thou shall not commit adultery
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Can a true follower of Thine
Such horrid crimes commit?
One moment left by grace Divine,
We sink into the pit:
Ah, do not, dearest Lord, depart
One moment from Thine own.
But purify, and keep the heart
That would be Thine alone.
