[The Lord that I sincerely love]

O ye that love the Lord, see that ye hate, &c. —xcvii. 10.

The Lord that I sincerely love
My hate of sin alone can prove;
But in my unregenerate state
Evil alas, I cannot hate;

318

Yet drawn by Him, He knows I would
Evil abhor, and cleave to good,
And God who gives me these desires,
Will give whate'er Himself requires.
