If Christ were born in Bethlehem a thousand times and not in thee thyself then art thou lost eternally.

Could one that's damned stand in high Heaven, even thereHe'd feel within himself all Hell and Hell's despair.

By the will art thou lost, by the will art thou found, by the will art thou free, captive, and bound.

Naught is there mightier than God;Yet hath He not the might to turnMy Will from willing what it will,My yearning as it needs must yearn?
