Religion
Mark 4:16, 17: Who untried himself can know
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Who untried himself can know?
Trials make the heart appear:
Joy if Thou on me bestow,
Guard it. Lord, with modest fear;
Nature's ostentatious pride,
Self-delight far off remove,
Then I shall the test abide.
Rooted deep in humble love.
