“In faith and virtue I have dwelt;
No proud, unholy feelings felt,
Nor mocked my Maker when I knelt,
By wandering thoughts of vanity.
“My first desire, in all things seen,
To glorify my God hath been;
My lips are pure, my heart is clean;—
Thou know’st my soul’s integrity!”
Ah, no! far other plea be mine,
As at Thy cross, O Lamb divine,
