[How should we place to Satan give]

Is thy servant a dog, that he should do this, &c. —viii. 13.

How should we place to Satan give,
Or sin to such excess?
We cannot now the depths conceive
Of our own wickedness;
Ourselves so skilful to conceal,
So exquisite our art,
God only knows the utmost hell
Of the deceitful heart.
But now, whate'er was done by man,
Divinely taught I see,
What most my soul abhors, I can
Commit, if left by Thee:

196

Ah, do not, Lord, forsake Thine own,
And I shall never fall,
Urged to all sins shall yield to none,
Though capable of all.
