Religion
1 Kings 17:18: To bring my former sins to mind
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
To bring my former sins to mind.
My comforts, Lord, Thou dost remove,
Revoke Thy gifts, severely kind.
And chasten me in jealous love:
The father's sin hath slain the son:
And if it still my offspring slays,
Deep humbled in the dust I own
Righteous and good are all Thy ways!
