Shall the form the Almighty moulded For the creature of His care, Shall the spirit he enfolded In such casket frail and fair, Stain the beauty He imparted, Through an appetite of shame? Leave affection broken-hearted, Shuddering o'er a tarnished name? Oh! forbid it, Thou who givest Armor to the tempted soul, Thou, who still in glory livest, While eternal ages roll: Through this brief and dark probation Keep us from such evil free Be our refuge aud salvation, Till we find our home with Thee.
