35.
[Though every sinful act increase]
If thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.
—iv. 7.
Though every sinful act increase
Our strong propensity to sin,
Into our heart it need not press,
We need not let the evil in:
Though sin lie knocking at the door,
Admittance we may still refuse,
For Jesus doth to all restore
The power or life or death to choose.
