UNREGENERATE?
Thou hast not breathed this mortal air,
Whose breathing bringeth sin;
Clean as the heavens thou art, but there
They will not let thee in.
Whose breathing bringeth sin;
Clean as the heavens thou art, but there
They will not let thee in.
Go little pilgrim pure and white,
Seek thou the heavenly gate;
I have not read my God aright,
If long thou there must wait.
Seek thou the heavenly gate;
I have not read my God aright,
If long thou there must wait.
Nay, He and I must strangers be,
If, for His pity's sake,
My little orphan'd Purity
He will not stoop to take,
If, for His pity's sake,
My little orphan'd Purity
He will not stoop to take,
