Mark 9:44: The word His sacred lips hath pass'd
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
The word His sacred lips hath pass'd!
And shall I trust the' infernal liar,
Who whispers soft, " But God at last
Will kill the worm, and quench the fire!"
Get thee behind me, fiend, say I,
Thine eloquence on others try.
Who, if they listen to thy tale.
Shall i)rove the loudest laugh of hell.
