[See the first fatal step to part]
And in those days...there arose a murmuring.
—vi. 1.
See the first fatal step to part
Men of one soul, and of one heart!
Undue respect of man,
Pride imperceptibly steals in,
Begets the discontented sin,
And mars the perfect plan.
Men of one soul, and of one heart!
Undue respect of man,
Pride imperceptibly steals in,
Begets the discontented sin,
And mars the perfect plan.
Where are humility and peace?
The root of envious bitterness
Pride, only pride could prove:
Envy unkind suspicion wakes;
Suspicion all the murmurs makes
And poisons social love.
The root of envious bitterness
Pride, only pride could prove:
Envy unkind suspicion wakes;
Suspicion all the murmurs makes
And poisons social love.
Who can, O God, Thy counsels tell!
Thy judgments are unsearchable!
The pure and perfect way,
Religion undefiled and true
Scarcely appear'd to mortal view,
And vanish'd in a day!
Thy judgments are unsearchable!
The pure and perfect way,
Religion undefiled and true
Scarcely appear'd to mortal view,
And vanish'd in a day!
