Lord, it is my chief complaint, That my love is weak and faint; Yet I love thee and adore, Oh for grace to love thee more!
The Spirit breathes upon the Word and brings the truth to sight.
Accomplishments have taken virtue's place, and wisdom falls before exterior grace.
Pleasure admitted in undue degree, enslaves the will, nor leaves the judgment free.
They whom truth and wisdom lead, can gather honey from a weed.
A life of ease is a difficult pursuit.
