[Principled with godly fear]

If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? —iv. 7.

Principled with godly fear,
Righteousness he might have wrought,
Cain himself, in faith sincere,
Might have his oblation brought;
Cain had then accepted been,
The old murderer abhorr'd,
Conquer'd the besetting sin,
More than conquer'd through his Lord.
