 | CHAPTER X. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley |  |
2590.
[Shall a poor worm of grace be proud]
But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up, &c.
—x. 26.
Shall a poor worm of grace be proud,
Or man mistake himself for God,
Or sacrilegiously allow
That others at his shrine should bow,
His idolised perfections praise,
Or set him in his Maker's place?
Or man mistake himself for God,
Or sacrilegiously allow
That others at his shrine should bow,
His idolised perfections praise,
Or set him in his Maker's place?
With true humility inspired
A saint abhors to be admired;
He makes his blind adorers rise,
Abhors their impious sacrifice,
Their honours blasphemously vain,
And always feels “I am but man.”
