Poetry
Lest you be wise in your own sight,
Ignorant of this mystery;
Unaware of any delight,
Receiving in a victory.
Do not try to be conceited,
Causing hardening of the heart;
Causing mistakes be repeated,
Any time that you may impart.
In this manner you will be saved,
The Redeemer comes from Zion;
Devour those who are enslaved,
Cast out like a roaring lion.
This is His covenant with them,
When He takes away all their sin;
Either confess or He will condemn,
Changing from the way they have been.
They are enemies for your sake,
Loved for the sake of forefathers;
Regards to the Gospel will make,
New creatures out of your brothers.
For the gifts and calling of God,
Irrevocable to anyone;
As you always honor and laud,
While you acknowledge the Son.
You were once disobedient,
But received His mercy and grace;
For becoming judged more lenient,
And now is willing to embrace.
They have now become unruly,
That by the mercy shown to you;
Receives mercy to be truly,
When confession is tried and true.
O through the depth of the wisdom,
Knowledge and the riches of God;
The vast amount in His Kingdom,
All pure and completely unflawed.
Who has known the mind of the Lord,
Who gave God a gift to repay;
To the Father being adored,
For our sins and we obey.
