Religion
James 1:20: The wrath of frantic man
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
Religion
The wrath of frantic man
Is impotent and vain,
Serves for no religious use,
Works no real nghteousness;
Evil cannot good produce,
Cannot cause the' effects of grace.
Then let me calmly flee,
Meek Lamb of God, to Thee:
From the rage of inbred pride
Thou my only refuge art;
Save me shelter'd in Thy side,
In the centre of Thy heart.
