[Of woman born, of flesh alone]

What is man, that he should be clean? &c. —xv. 14.

Of woman born, of flesh alone,
Man must be filthy and unclean,
Draughts of iniquity drink down;
For all his heart and soul is sin:
But changed, and purified by grace,
A witness of the Spirit's power,
He sees his Saviour's smiling face,
And born of God, he sins no more.
