[The things which we the' occasion make]

He said unto them, I beheld Satan, &c. —x. 18.

The things which we the' occasion make
Of pride and self-complacency,
Shall cause our humbled hearts to quake
When rightly taught O Lord by Thee:

What saint dares in himself delight,
Or boast the grace and talents given,
Or glory in perfection's height,
Who sees archangels fall from heaven?
