Religion
Mark 12:12: I God o'er the heathen reigns
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
I God o'er the heathen reigns,
And checks their full career.
Passion by passion He restrains,
Malicious rage by fear;
Suspends their wicked deed,
Till all His work is done.
And when He lets their purpose speed
He only serves His own.
