345.

[That heavenly principle within]

The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven. —xiii. 33.

That heavenly principle within,
Doth it at once its power exert,
At once root out the seed of sin,
And spread perfection through the heart?
No; but a gradual life it sends,
Diffusive through the faithful soul,
To actions, words, and thoughts extends,
And slowly sanctifies the whole.
