Isaiah 43:25: Thou must for Thy own sake forgive

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Thou must for Thy own sake forgive,
It cannot be for mine;
My power the pardon to receive.
My faith is all Divine:
A sinner on mere mercy cast.
Thy mercy I embrace,
And gladly own, from first to last
That I am saved by grace.
