AD ASTRA: 83 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: BUT GOD!-CAN EVIL LIVE WITHIN HIS SIGHT?
Last Line: BUT ONLY THROUGH HIS GRACE, SO FREELY GIVEN.
Subject(s): JUDGMENTS; SIN;

But God!—can evil live within His sight?
Sinless, how must He view the wrack of sin?
Shall God be ruled by measure of our Right,
Be judged by that diviner Voice within
Whence all our thoughts of Holiness begin?—
Not of ourselves may we foretoken Heaven
But only through His grace, so freely given.
