The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
1274.
[By my own backslidings I]
Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, &c.
—ii. 19.
By my own backslidings I
Terribly reproved have been,
Long, as at the point to die,
Groan'd—and added sin to sin:
Sin's reward in sin I gain,
Left its evil fruits to feel,
Fear, astonishment, and pain,
Late remorse, and present hell.
