CHAPTER VII. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
161.
[Evil I then must be]
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit.
—vii. 18.
Evil I then must be
Who bring forth evil fruit:
Corrupt the fruit, corrupt the tree,
And most corrupt the root:
Whatever gift or grace
Thou hast on me bestow'd,
Lord, I with all my soul confess
That yet I am not good.
