[Lord, Thou forbiddest me in vain]
Whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be, &c.
—v. 22.
Lord, Thou forbiddest me in vain
By anger, or contempt to kill,
Unless Thou dost at once explain,
And strengthen me to' obey, Thy will:
The spiritual command I see;
But O, Thy Spirit's power impart,
And planting Thy own love in me,
Expel the murderer from my heart.
