[I cannot, Lord, in judgment stand]

They have humbled themselves, &c. —xii. 7.

I cannot, Lord, in judgment stand,
I sink beneath Thy mighty hand,
And guilty, guilty plead;
Righteous in all Thy ways art Thou,
And wouldst have had me live, if now
Thy justice strike me dead.
Yet if I do at last relent,
And by a power from Thee repent
Of all that I have done,
An humbled soul Thou wilt not slay,
But turn Thy righteous wrath away,
And give me to Thy Son.
