“The dearest idol I have known,
Whate’er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.
So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb.”
~ William Cowper
In honor of William Cowper, an English poet and hymn writer, who died on this day in 1800.
