[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.

425

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.
