[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.
