“When we call the virtue of the saints perfect, to this very perfection also belongs the recognition of imperfection, both in truth and in humility.”
—Augustine of Hippo
The Eye and the Heart (Matthew 6:19-24)
“1. Draw me from created good,
From self, the world, and sin
To the fountain of Thy blood,
And make me pure within
Chorus: If Thou hast drawn a thousand times
(Oh draw me Lord again)
Around me cast the Spirit’s bands
(Oh draw me Lord again)”
— Benjamin Beddome
