[Nature's highmindedness]
Be not highminded, but fear.
—xi. 20.
Nature's highmindedness
How shall I lay aside?
I cannot, Lord, myself abase,
Myself divest of pride:
But if Thou speak the word,
The word imparts the fear,
And poor, and vile, and self-abhorr'd
I at Thy feet appear.
How shall I lay aside?
I cannot, Lord, myself abase,
Myself divest of pride:
But if Thou speak the word,
The word imparts the fear,
And poor, and vile, and self-abhorr'd
I at Thy feet appear.
Here let me ever lie
And tremble at Thy grace,
Afraid to meet Thy pitying eye,
To see Thy smiling face:
Thus only may I prove
My growth in grace sincere,
And calmly wait, till perfect love
Complete my humble fear.
And tremble at Thy grace,
Afraid to meet Thy pitying eye,
To see Thy smiling face:
Thus only may I prove
My growth in grace sincere,
And calmly wait, till perfect love
Complete my humble fear.
