[Who would not start from avarice]

What will ye give me, and I will deliver, &c. —xxvi. 15.

Who would not start from avarice
Which paves the way to hell,
Which tempts us at so vile a price
Our Saviour-God to sell?
Thy only love can rescue me:
Jesus, Thy love impart,
And chase the cursed idolatry,
The Judas from my heart.
