[3 My Guilt appear'd but small before, Till terribly I saw How Perfect, Holy, Just, and Pure, Was thine eternal Law. 4 Then felt my Soul the heavy Load; My Sins reviv'd again I had provok'd a dreadful God, And all my Hopes were slain.] 5 I'm like a helpless Captive sold, Under the Pow'r of Sin; I cannot do the Good I would, Nor keep my Conscience clean. 6 My God, I cry with ev'ry Breath For some kind Pow'r to save, To break the Yoke of Sin and Death, And thus redeem the Slave.
