Mark 1:27: Who soften and corrupt the word
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Who soften and corrupt the word,
The power of God who never knew,
They stumble at our pardoning Lord,
They call the ancient gospel new;
New to poor souls by them misled,
To teachers blind and sinners dead.
New as the word of truth and grace,
In Abra/ia?n and his sons fulfill'd.
In every age and every place;
New as the woman's Seed reveal'd,
New as the Lamb from Adam's fall
Promised, and preach'd, and slain for all!
