Representative Text

1. Hear me, dear Jesus, Prince of peace,
While I my numerous faults confess,
And with increasing fervour pray,
That they may all be washed away.

2. Do thou thy precious blood apply,
Nor let a trembling sinner die;
Oh cleanse my soul from every stain,
Let not a single spot remain.

3. Thus pardoned and thus purified,
I'll spread thy praises far and wide,
And loudly sing redeeming love,
Both here and in the world above.

He published several discourses and hymns. "His hymns, to the number of 830, were published in 1818, with a recommendation from Robert Hall."
