Religion
Matthew 12:34: Cannot speak a word, or do
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Cannot speak a word, or do
An action truly good,
Till Thou, O Lord, my heart renew.
And wash me in Thy blood:
But when in me Thy Spirit of grace
Doth power and utterance give,
I then shall speak my Saviour's praise.
And to Thy glory live.
