[While Thou dost our souls restore]

Neither shall they defile themselves, &c. —xxxvii. 23.

While Thou dost our souls restore
To their unsinning state,
Give us evil to abhor,
And every idol hate;
Nature's filthiness remove,
Filthiness of self and pride,
Only Thee that we may love,
And pure till death abide.
