THE TWO MEN, by                    
First Line: Two men in me I find
Last Line: And leave it all to you understand.
Alternate Author Name(s): Oxenham, John
Subject(s): Religion; Theology


Two men in me I find,
Of very different mind, --
One strives at times for good,
And one, in earthlier mood,
With lower things is strangely intertwined.

The one is not all ills,
The other grace reveals;
But yet they are so mixed,
My soul doth stand betwixt,
And neither one nor other all fulfills.

I can but take my stand,
And bear a lusty hand, --
This one, my best to aid,
And that, to embuscade,
And leave it all to You understand.
