By Willful Sin the Man Who Wrongs

By will­ful sin the man who wrongs

Himself

his neigh­bor

or his God

To Sa­tan

not to Christ be­longs;

He knows not that aton­ing blood

Nor sees the great In­vi­si­ble

But sleeps with­in the mouth of hell.

The man by faith who tru­ly lives

And strives his faith­ful­ness t’ap­prove

Employs the tal­ents he re­ceives

In all the toils of hum­ble love

May cry with con­fi­dence di­vine

I am my God’s

and He is mine!
