John 8:45: Corrupt alike in heart and mind
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Corrupt alike in heart and mind,
Till re-begotten from above.
To falsehood as to sin inclined.
We neither truth nor virtue love;
Wisdom Himself averse we hear,
Abhorring good to evil cleave.
To truth Divine, a lie prefer,
And Satan before Christ believe.
