[Who trusts his own intrepid heart]
Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.
—xiv. 29.
Who trusts his own intrepid heart,
Burning with inexperienced zeal,
Secure he never shall depart,
“For sin is quite impossible,”
He must perceive himself but man,
Must fall, to teach him that he can.

Must fall, to teach him that he can.
Presuming on his strength of grace,
Himself to others who prefers,
And boasts his future faithfulness,
And slights the warning word he hears,
He soon shall prove his pride to all,
Alarming thousands by his fall.
