1037.
[God o'er the heathen reigns]
They sought to lay hold on Him, &c.
—xii. 12.
God o'er the heathen reigns,
And checks their full career,
Passion by passion He restrains,
Malicious rage by fear;
Suspends their wicked deed,
Till all His work is done,
And when He lets their purpose speed
He only serves His own.
