Take time enough: all other graces
Will soon fill up their proper places.
Religion's Meaning when I would recall,
Love is to me the plainest Word of all.
If a man do but keep himself sober and stout,
The world as he'd have it must needs turn about.
In the Praise ever due to the Gospel of Grace
Its Universality holds the first Place.
When things were as fine as could possibly be
I thought 'twas the spring; but alas it was she.
