Thou haft; and I believe :.
Yet I ftill a Sinner come,

That Thou mayft ftill forgive.
Wretched, miferable, blind,
Poor, and naked, and unclean,
Still, that I may Mercy find,
I bring Thee nought but Sin.

3. I have always Equal Need
Of Thy forgiving Love,
Still do I the Promife plead,

That I Thy Truth may prove.
Juft, and faithful as Thou art,
Hear me now my Sins confefs,
Hear, and purify my Heart
From All Unrighteousness.

From every finful Blot,

From th' Iniquity of Pride
And Self I fhall be free.

Unless Thy Word is vain,

My Eden here regain,

Perfectly in me restore,

And Sin fubfift no more.

They that wait on the LORD fhall renew their Strength.

And lengthen out my Days.

Which purges every Stain,

And gladly linger out below

A few more Years in Pain.

7HAT a Myftery am I,
A Mystery of Sin,

Full of All Iniquity,
Unholy, and unclean!

Every Thought of All our Hearts
Only Evil always is,

Now, I know, my inward Parts
Are very Wickedness.

2. Strip'd of every boafted Grace,
Of every Shew of Good,
Still I am but what I was,
Unchang'd, and unrenew'd.
Duft and Ashes is my Name,
Sinful Duft and Ashes I,
Bearing all my Sin and Shame,
At JESU's Feet I lie.

A clean and holy Thing,

Who of all the Sons of Men
Can ever hope to bring?
