[But did the saints of God, the dead]
But now ye also put off all these; anger, &c.
—iii. 8, 9.
But did the saints of God, the dead
With Christ, the partners of His rise,
The Spirit's strongest cautions need
'Gainst every sin, and every vice?
O what are men (if God remove)
The best, the perfected in love?
With Christ, the partners of His rise,
The Spirit's strongest cautions need
'Gainst every sin, and every vice?
O what are men (if God remove)
The best, the perfected in love?
89
The holiest, who their watch remit,
May sink into the tempter's snare,
Will fall into the hellish pit,
Unless with humble ceaseless prayer
They to the last themselves deny,
And conquerors in the harness die.
May sink into the tempter's snare,
Will fall into the hellish pit,
Unless with humble ceaseless prayer
They to the last themselves deny,
And conquerors in the harness die.
