Mark 5:18: Blacker far in my own eyes
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Blacker far in my own eyes
Than the foulest slaves of vice,
Saviour I have no pretence
To the place of innocence;
Yet, my God, I humbly pray.
Suffer me with Thee to stay.
In Thy loving heart to' abide,
Never leave Thy wounded side.
