[The wrath of frantic man]
The wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
—i. 20.
The wrath of frantic man
Is impotent and vain,
Serves for no religious use,
Works no real righteousness;
Evil cannot good produce,
Cannot cause the' effects of grace.

Then let me calmly flee,
Meek Lamb of God, to Thee:
From the rage of inbred pride
Thou my only refuge art;
Save me shelter'd in Thy side,
In the centre of Thy heart.
