[Knowledge howe'er sublime]
Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
—viii. 1.
Knowledge howe'er sublime
What doth it profit me?
It only aggravates my crime,
Distinct from charity:
On all mankind beside
It tempts me to look down,
And whispers to my learned pride,
That I am wise alone.
What doth it profit me?
It only aggravates my crime,
Distinct from charity:
On all mankind beside
It tempts me to look down,
And whispers to my learned pride,
That I am wise alone.
But the pure gospel-grace
Whoe'er with Christ receives,
Little, and mean, and vile, and base
In his own eyes he lives:
That simple love Divine
To me, to me be given,
And humble this proud soul of mine,
And then exalt to heaven.
Whoe'er with Christ receives,
Little, and mean, and vile, and base
In his own eyes he lives:

To me, to me be given,
And humble this proud soul of mine,
And then exalt to heaven.
