Religion
Mark 4:30: No turns of eloquence He seeks
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
No turns of eloquence He seeks,
Or flowing ornaments of phrase,
But truth in apt expressions speaks.
To' explain the mysteries of grace.
That simple humble men may know
That which the proud and learned miss.
The way to happiness below,
The way to everlasting bliss.
