[Forbid it, Lord, that I should strive]

If thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast, &c. —v. 29.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should strive
Mine idols to conceal,
Or keep one bosom-lust alive,
And carry it to hell:
Rather from all I leave behind
My naked soul shall flee,
And lose its life on earth, to find
Its heavenly life in Thee.
