CHAPTER XV. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
1442.
[Father, I still confess]
And the son said . . . Father, I have sinned, &c.
—xv. 21.
Father, I still confess
The sins Thou hast forgiven,
Unworthy to behold Thy face
Or lift mine eyes to heaven:
Though Thou Thy love reveal
Remitting all my debt,
That I have sinn'd I never will,
I never can forget.
The sins Thou hast forgiven,
Unworthy to behold Thy face
Or lift mine eyes to heaven:
Though Thou Thy love reveal
Remitting all my debt,
That I have sinn'd I never will,
I never can forget.
Thou know'st what I would say
While at Thy feet I fall,
And dost not give me time to pray
To be the least of all:
Thy mercy bids me rise,
From all that I have done
Discharged, and fill'd with sweet surprise,
And call'd a pleasant son.
While at Thy feet I fall,
