2 Samuel 12:14: Vouchsafe the grace for which I pray

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Vouchsafe the grace for which I pray,
In mercy put my sin away,
I nothing ask beside;
But chasten'd by a pardoning God,
Adore Thy hand, and kiss the rod,
Though pain till death abide.
