[The guardian of an heart sincere]
He justified himself rather than God.
—xxxii. 2.
The guardian of an heart sincere,
Firm in his own defence he stood,
More careful, more concern'd to clear
Himself, than vindicate his God,
Anxious to save his own from blame,
Regardless of Jehovah's name.

Regardless of Jehovah's name.
Instructed by his error, Lord,
Thee, only Thee we justify,
Thy will be done, Thy name adored;
Tried, to the utmost tried, we cry,
False, and unjust let all men be,
Justice and truth are still in Thee.
