[When man presumes a law to' enjoin]

We ought to obey God rather than men. —v. 29.

When man presumes a law to' enjoin
Which contradicts the law Divine,
Shall we a moment doubting stay
Which to reject and which obey?
Or bold before the world avow
To God's, not man's commands we bow.
191

Zeal to prefer our Maker's will
With modest confidence shall fill,
Shall own, in all our gestures seen,
That we who have with Jesus been
His will our only rule receive,
Or die for Him by whom we live.
