Religion
Matthew 17:17: Brought to Thy followers in vain
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Brought to Thy followers in vain,
By Satan and his sin possess'd.
Unclean, unsaved, I still remain;
But draw me, Saviour, to Thy breast,
But come Thyself into my soul,
And then Thy presence makes me whole.
