How much, Preventing God! how much I oweGRACE.
To the defences thou hast round me set:
Example, custom, fear, occasion slow,—
These scorned bondmen were my parapet.
I dare not peep over this parapet
To guage with glance the roaring gulf below,
The depths of sin to which I had descended,
Had not these me against myself defended.
