Religion
Romans 12:9: Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
Religion
By nature, Lord, I evil love;
Thou by the virtue of Thy grace
The dire propensity remove,
The heart that hates Thy righteous ways:
Stamp Thy whole image on my breast,
And partner of Thy purity,
Sin I shall perfectly detest,
And cleave with all my soul to Thee.
