[First, the great almighty Lord]

After the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, &c. —xlii. 7.

First, the great almighty Lord
Condemn'd his righteous pride,
Then the sinner self-abhorr'd
He cheer'd and justified,

272

Then the humbled worm He raised,
The sinner saved by grace alone,
Took His servant's part, and praised,
And claim'd him for His own.
Thus, almighty Lord, may I
Thine approbation gain,
Self-condemn'd, for mercy cry,
Till mercy I obtain:
Me of unbelief convince,
And then the guilty sinner clear,
Then reveal my pardon'd sins,
Eternal Comforter!
