Luke 17:4: Let mine injurious brother own

Let mine injurious brother own
His oft-reiterated sin,
Received for Jesu's sake alone,
As the off"ence had never been,
I to my confidence restore,
And love, and prize him as before.

But if his stubborn pride disdain
The frequent evil to confess,
Lord, shall I trust my foe again.
Or as my bosom-friend caress?
I must, I will, with love receive.
And twice ten thousand times forgive.

Harden'd in his impenitence
For him I now in secret mourn,
Remit unask'd the hundred pence.
And pray my God his heart to turn,
And treat him, when the change I see.
As kindly, as Thou treatest me.
