Guilty, now I pour my moaning,

All my hame with anguih owning;

Spare, O God, Thy uppliant, groaning!

Thou, the inful woman avet,

Thou, the dying thief forgavet;

And to me a hope vouchafet!

Worthles are my pray'rs and ighing,

Yet, good Lord, in grace complying,

Recue me from fires undying!

With Thy favor'd heep, O place me!

Nor among the goats abae me;

But to Thy right hand upraie me.
