The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

February 18

Keep me from wrath, let it seem ever so right:

My wrath will never work thy righteousness.

Up, up the hill, to the whiter than snow-shine,

Help me to climb, and dwell in pardon's light.

I must be pure as thou, or ever less

Than thy design of me—therefore incline

My heart to take men's wrongs as thou tak'st mine.
