Take this stumbling-block away, (Isa. 57:14, Rom. 14:13)
That we may safely dwell, (Ezek. 34:28)
Fall no more an helpless prey (Ezek. 34:28, Ezek. 34:22)
To sin, the world, and hell:
Sin and fear at once shall cease, (Ezek. 34:28)
If thou our unbelief remove, (Mark 9:24)
Then we live in perfect peace, (Isa. 26:3)
Who live in perfect love. (Eph. 5:2)
Take this stumbling-block away
