[There needed, Lord, no act of Thine]

The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh. —ix. 12.

There needed, Lord, no act of Thine,
If Pharaoh had an heart like mine:
One moment leave me but alone,
And mine alas, is turn'd to stone!
Thus if the blessing Thou restrain,
The earth is harden'd by the rain
Withheld: and thus, if God depart,
Jehovah hardens Pharaoh's heart!
