[Yet wilt Thou not the guilty clear]

That will by no means clear the guilty, &c. —xxxiv. 7.

Yet wilt Thou not the guilty clear,
If we to sin return:
Thy wrath vindictively severe
From age to age shall burn;
Unless our sinful misery
We self-condemn'd bemoan,
And find an Advocate in Thee
Before Thy Father's throne.
