B.IX. A Sinner's Prayer

1 Thou Lord my Power and Wisdom art
O do not then reject my Heart!
Thy Clay that weeps, thy Dust I am
That call's--O put me not to shame.

2 Thy Glories, Lord, in all Things shine,
Thine is the Deed, the Praise is thine.
A feeble helpless Creature, I
Do at thy Pleasure live or die.

3 Lord well I know, I merit Grief,
Yea endless Fears without Relief;
Yea if t' exact thy Due forbear,
And spare, a feeble Creature spare.

4 Still if I wail not (still to wail
Nature denies and Flesh wou'd fail)
Lord, pardon, for thy Son makes good
My want of Tears with store of Blood.
