Religion
John 3:19: This is the condemnation, that light is come, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
All in their wretched selves alone
The cause of their damnation lies,
Lovers of sin, they hate and shun
The light that pains their guilty eyes.
Who the dire deeds of darkness do
Abhorrence of the light they feel,
And the broad dreary path pursue
That leads to the profoundest hell.
