The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
42.
[And dare we our perfection boast?]
Every imagination of the thoughts of man's heart, &c.
—vi. 5.
And dare we our perfection boast?
With haughty Luciferian scorn
Deny our innocency lost,
As still in God's resemblance born?
Great Author of our second birth,
Give us, our fallen souls to feel
As godlike as the beasts on earth,
As perfect as the fiends in hell.
