[Yet dost Thou, Lord, Thy wrath forbear]
For My name's sake will I defer Mine anger, &c.
—xlviii. 9.
Yet dost Thou, Lord, Thy wrath forbear,
My righteous punishment defer,
Time after time reprieve;
Thou dost not speedy vengeance take,
But still for Thy own mercy's sake
Permittest me to live.
My righteous punishment defer,

Thou dost not speedy vengeance take,
But still for Thy own mercy's sake
Permittest me to live.

I live to render Thee the praise,
A monument of Thy patient grace
Thy patient grace I own,
Pluck'd as a brand out of the flame,
Spared for the glory of Thy name,
The glory of Thy Son.
A monument of Thy patient grace
Thy patient grace I own,
Pluck'd as a brand out of the flame,
Spared for the glory of Thy name,
The glory of Thy Son.
