He sins not, who is not wilfully a sinner.
A friend always loves, but he who loves is not always a friend.

Loud o'er my head though awful thunders roll,
And vivid lightnings flash from pole to pole,
Yet read more
Loud o'er my head though awful thunders roll,
And vivid lightnings flash from pole to pole,
Yet 'tis Thy voice, my God, that bids them fly,
Thy arm directs those lightnings through the sky.
Then let the good Thy mighty name revere,
And hardened sinners Thy just vengeance fear.
Concealed anger is to be feared; but hatred openly manifested
destroys its chance of revenge.
Concealed anger is to be feared; but hatred openly manifested
destroys its chance of revenge.
