[How strong the stream of error ran]
Barnabas also was carried away.
—ii. 13.
How strong the stream of error ran,
To bear an old apostle down!
What is the chief of saints? a man
Who stands upheld by Christ alone:
But unsustain'd, the best I see
As weak and fallible as me.
To bear an old apostle down!
What is the chief of saints? a man
Who stands upheld by Christ alone:
But unsustain'd, the best I see
As weak and fallible as me.
Let others, then, in man confide,
A worm their chosen favourite make:
Thee, Jesus, Thee my faithful Guide,
My only Oracle I take;
And following Thee, I cannot miss
My way to everlasting bliss.
