Oh that He would speak,

And put to shame thine arrogance.

His glance Discerns all wickedness, all vain pretence

To sanctity and wisdom. Were thine heart

Rightly prepared, and evil put away

From that and from thy house, then shouldst thou lift

Thy spotless face, clear as the noon-day sun

Stedfast and fearless. Yea, thou shouldst forget

Thy misery, as waters that have past

Away forever.
