2 Corinthians 12:16: No: the follower of the Lamb
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
No: the follower of the Lamb,
Worthy of the Christian name,
True disciple of his Lord,
Craft, and guile, like hell abhorr'd.
Every /sraelite indeed
Is by the same Spirit led,
Far from false, infernal art,
Simple both in life and heart.
Such the man whom God forgives:
Happy man by faith he lives;
All his hopes, and joys are one,
All his aim is God alone.
Such may I delight to be,
Closely copying after Thee;
Heavenly Innocence Divine,
Such I am,—if Thou art mine.
