[Worthy of death, afraid to die]

We have heard that the kings of Israel, &c. —xx. 31.

Worthy of death, afraid to die,
To Israel's gracious King I cry;
The grace Thou hast to others show'd,
O might it be on me bestow'd!
My cause of hope is all in Thee;
O God, be merciful to me,
I pray Thee let the sinner live,
And for mere mercy's sake forgive.
