2 Corinthians 12:6: But now J forbear, lest any man should think, &c

Is it, great God, to honour Thee,
That men their glorious state declare,
Void of the godly jealousy,
The lowly self-mistrusting fear?
No, their own praises they repeat,
And incense burn to their own net.

No dread have they, lest men should pe
Or glory to the creature give;
They let the people sacrifice,
Their incense of applause receive,
Patient to be admired by all,
And self-assured they cannot fall!
