23. [Heavenly Principle within]

Heavenly Principle within,
Show Thine enmity to sin,
Whom Thou hast in us subdued,
Slay the serpent and his brood;

Crush the head he strives to hide,
Subtle selfishness and pride,
Malice, spite, and cruelty,
All his works destroy in me.

Root them out of Adam's race,
Spread Thy nature in their place,
Mary's, God's eternal Son,
Reign in all our hearts alone.
