ANOTHER. WRITTEN ON THE DAY OF HIS EXECUTION, JUNE 27, 1777.
Refuge supreme of sad despair,
The outcast's Hope, the sinner's Friend,
For him we breathe our latest prayer,
Whose life hath reach'd its shameful end:
For him we in Thy Spirit groan,
And bear our burden to the throne.
The outcast's Hope, the sinner's Friend,
For him we breathe our latest prayer,
Whose life hath reach'd its shameful end:
For him we in Thy Spirit groan,
And bear our burden to the throne.
The mercy which he sought from man,
From cruel man he could not find;
But can he ask Thy grace in vain?
Lover and Saviour of mankind,
Thy mercy and Thy grace impart,
And fill with peace his happy heart.
From cruel man he could not find;
But can he ask Thy grace in vain?
Lover and Saviour of mankind,
Thy mercy and Thy grace impart,
And fill with peace his happy heart.
Give him the sting of death to feel,
With all his cancell'd sins removed;
Now in his soul Thyself reveal,
So dearly bought, so dearly loved;
Challenge his parting soul for Thine,
And swallow' up death in life Divine!
With all his cancell'd sins removed;
Now in his soul Thyself reveal,
So dearly bought, so dearly loved;
Challenge his parting soul for Thine,
And swallow' up death in life Divine!
