800. The Linsey-woolsey Garment

1 Dark is he whose eye’s not single;
Foolish man
never can
Hell with heaven mingle.

2 [Everything we do we sin in.
Chosen Jews
must not use
Woollen mixed with linen.]

3 God is holy in his nature;
And by that
needs must hate
Sin in every creature.

4 Infinite in truth and justice,
He surveys
all our ways;
Knows in whom our trust is.

5 Partial service is his loathing;
He requires
pure desires;
All the heart, or nothing.

6 [If we think of reconciling
Black with white,
dark with light,
’Tis but self-beguiling.]

7 Righteousness to full perfection
Must be brought,
lacking nought,
Fearless of rejection.
