[Thy children, all inspired by Me]

All thy children shall be taught, &c. —liv. 13, 14.

Thy children, all inspired by Me,
Full of the Holy Ghost shall be,
Of glorious joy and perfect peace,
Their souls I will anew create,
And stablish in a sinless state,
Through faith's implanted righteousness:
Then shalt thou fear thy foes no more,
Beyond the dire oppressor's power,
Beyond the reach of earth and hell:
My word is to the utmost proved,
The inbred stumbling-block removed,
And sin is quite impossible.
