[Is it a moral sense in man]
I withheld thee from sinning against Me.
—xx. 6.
Is it a moral sense in man,
Reason, or pride, or virtue's power,
Which doth from passion's rage restrain,
And save us in the' unguarded hour?
No; but a secret force of Thine,
O Christ, preserves through ways unknown:
Withheld from sin by grace Divine,
I give the praise to God alone.
