[Thou must for Thy own sake forgive]

I, even I am He that blotteth out, &c. —xliii. 25.

Thou must for Thy own sake forgive,
It cannot be for mine;
My power the pardon to receive,
My faith is all Divine:
A sinner on mere mercy cast,
Thy mercy I embrace,
And gladly own, from first to last
That I am saved by grace.
