 | CHAPTER XIV. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley |  |
1417.
[Why have I, Lord, so often been]
Whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased.
—xiv. 11.
Why have I, Lord, so often been
Baffled, debased by every sin?
With humble shame and grief
One sin I own the cause of all,
Pride always went before my fall,
The pride of unbelief.
