[Joy unmix'd I would not know]
They departed quickly from the sepulchre, &c.
—xxviii. 8.
Joy unmix'd I would not know:
When Thou dost to me appear,
Guard the joy Thou dost bestow,
Moderate it with humble fear;
Fear of my unworthiness,
Fear lest I Thy grace should hide,
Fear of nature's fond excess,
Fear of losing it by pride.
