Religion
Mark 1:28: His own renown, His own great name
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
His own renown, His own great name
Could never hurt God's only Son:
But listening to the voice of fame,
h human preacher is undone;
He lets the pleasing poison glide
Insensible through every part,
Till praise, and vanity, and pride
Corrupt his whole unwary heart.
