Exodus 34:7: Forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Merciful God, long-suffering, kind,
To me Thy name is show'd;
But sinners most exult to find
Thou art a jDardoning God:
Our sins in deed, and word, and thought,
Thou freely dost forgive
For us Thou by Thy blood hast bought,
And died, that I may live.
