2 Chronicles 33:12, 13: Viler than Manasses
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Viler than Manasses I,
Forced by deep affliction pray.
Prostrate in Thy presence cry
Take Thy heavy plague away,
If Thou canst intreated be,
Hear, my God, and pardon me.
To mine inmost soul restore
Forfeited felicity,
Fulness of victorious power,
Peace and joy reveal in me,
Give the gracious kingdom back,
Save me now for Jesu's sake.
