Zephaniah 3:11, 12: fit that day shall thou not be ashamed, &c

Then, then the' intestine war is o'er.
And guilty shame confounds no more.
When Thou hast rooted out our pride:
With vain complacency in grace
No more we boast our holiness.
Or in our " sinless state" confide.

Out of the deep of poverty
Saviour, we give the praise to Thee,
Thee only good, and wise, and just;
Our utter nothingness we own,
Exalt our righteous Lord alone,
And in His name for ever trust.
