Inhaltsangabe:

"Surely if we could but look down upon mankind with an all-surveying eye as the great God does, we should see a dreadful and universal spread of this vice of pride over all the race of man, and an infinite number of mischiefs derived from it, and diffused through kingdoms and churches, through all human societies and personal affairs. Pride was the ruin of angels; pride was the fall of man; 'Ye shall be as gods' was the great temptation, and the event is 'we are become like Devils.'" The great English hymnwriter Isaac Watts attacks the vice of pride and extols the virtue of humility, in frank and practical language that sounds as current today as when it was written more than 200 years ago. Language slightly updated for modern readers.
