Deuteronomy 9:7: Thou need'st the kind command repeat

Thou need'st the kind command repeat,
So apt the sinner to forget
His former trespasses:
But lest I cast them still behind.
Saviour, bring all my sins to mind.
And on my heart impress.
;i9. Fi'om the day that thou didst depart, &c.— x. 7.

I NOW reflect with grief and shame.
That since I out of Egypt came,
I have rebellious been.
Provoked Thee in the wilderness.
And wearied out Thy patient grace
By adding sin to sin;

A rebel to this present hour!
Yet now for all Thy mercy's power
I ask with contrite sighs
To end my sin, but not my pain:
I would lament till death,'-' and then
Rejoice in paradise.
