[Scarce have we put the harness on]
Let not him that girdeth on his harness, &c.
—xx. 11.
Scarce have we put the harness on,
When nature thinks, the work is done,
Defies the world and Satan's hosts,
And of her own perfection boasts:
But veterans in the service know
Their work is never done below;
And when to Christ their spirits they give,
They cease at once to fight and live.
