1 Thus saith the high and Lofty One,
"I sit upon my holy Throne;
"My Name is God, I dwell on high;
"Dwell in my own Eternity.
2 "But I descend to Worlds below,
"On Earth I have a Mansion too;
"The humble Spirit and contrite
"Is an Abode of my Delight.
3 "The humble Soul my Words revive,
"I bid the mourning Sinner live;
"Heal all the broken Hearts I find,
"And ease the Sorrows of the Mind.
4 "When I contend against their Sin,
"I make them know how vile they've been;
"But should my Wrath for ever smoke,
"Their Souls would sink beneath my Stroke."
5 O may thy pard'ning Grace be nigh,
Lest we should faint, despair, and die!
Thus shall our better Thoughts approve
The Methods of thy chast'ning Love.
