Religion
2 Chronicles 12:7: They have humbled themselves, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
I Cannot, Lord, in judgment stand,
I sink beneath Thy mighty hand.
And guilty, guilty plead;
Righteous in all Thy ways art Thou,
And wouldst have had me live, if now
Thy justice strike me dead.
Yet if I do at last relent,
And by a power from Thee repent
Of all that I have done,
An humbled soul Thou wilt not slay.
But turn Thy righteous wrath away.
And give me to Thy Son.
