Mark 14:67: The saint who of his grace presumes
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
The saint who of his grace presumes.
Nor yet his own great weakness knows,
A woman's word or look o'ercomes,
A pillar of the church o'erthrows.
And Peter's sin proclaims to all
That pride precedes a certain fall.
