Hatred of Sin
Olney Hymns, William Cowper, from Cowper's Poems, Sheldon & Company, New York
Holy Lord God! I love Thy truth, Nor dare Thy least commandment slight;
Yet pierced by sin, the serpent's tooth,
But though the poison lurks within,Hope bids me still with patience wait;
Till death shall set me free from sin,
Had I a throne above the rest,Where angels and archangels dwell,
One sin, unslain, within my breast,
The prisoner sent to breathe fresh air,And blest with liberty again,
Would mourn were he condemn'd to wear
But, oh! no foe invades the bliss,When glory crowns the Christian's head;
One view of Jesus as He is
