[Man may swell with towering hope]

Truly in vain is salvation hoped for, &c. —iii. 23.

Man may swell with towering hope,
Heap his hills and mountains up,
By his virtuous efforts vain
Holiness he cannot gain,
Cannot to perfection rise,
Save himself, or scale the skies.
But if Thou Thyself impart,
Thou our whole Salvation art,

11

Feel Thy saints of Thee possess'd,
Full Perfection—in their breast,
All our grace laid up we see,
All our heaven enjoy in Thee.
