Mark 7:21: Vile and wretched as the worst
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Vile and wretched as the worst,
Saviour if this heart of mine
Bears not all those fruits accursed.
Thine the praise and only Thine:
What it doth of evil bear
Thou dost patiently endure
Till Thy love the root uptear.
Make mine inmost nature pure.
