[Like him, I smote, engaged with sin]

He smote thrice, and stayed. —xiii. 18.

Like him, I smote, engaged with sin,
Like him I follow'd not my blow;
Rekindled hence the war within,
Revived again the vanquish'd foe:
But now I will Thy word obey,
I will pursue my victory,
And still smite on, and never stay,
Till sin is all consumed in me.
