[Long enthrall'd to low desires]

I will run the way of Thy commandments, &c. —cxix. 32.

Long enthrall'd to low desires,
Stubborn, impotent, and vain,
Heavenward now my heart aspires,
Struggles now to burst its chain:

328

Set my heart at liberty,
Then my feet shall swiftly move,
In the paths prescribed by Thee,
Pleasant paths of perfect love.
