[Thy mercy grants the sinner's prayer]
And I am glad for your sakes that I was, &c.
—xi. 15.
Thy mercy grants the sinner's prayer:
Thy greater love doth oft defer,
The promised good to give;
That help'd in the most desperate case,
We Thy transcendent power may praise,
And perfectly believe.
Thy greater love doth oft defer,
The promised good to give;
That help'd in the most desperate case,
We Thy transcendent power may praise,
And perfectly believe.
Thy presence bids our troubles cease;
Thy absence makes our faith increase,
While patient and resign'd
We humbly for Thy coming stay,
Till fitted through our Lord's delay
Thine utmost love we find.

While patient and resign'd
