[Lord, I have sinn'd, but now relent]

We have sinned, do Thou unto us whatsoever, &c. —x. 15.

Lord, I have sinn'd, but now relent,
And groan beneath my guilt;
Humbly accept my punishment,
Do with me what Thou wilt:
For this, and only this I pray,
From all my sins release,
And save throughout my evil day,
And bid me die in peace.
