[I have other gods adored]
Then God turned, and gave them up to, &c.
—vii. 42.
I have other gods adored
With vile idolatry,
Oft provoked my injured Lord
To turn His eyes from me;
Yet Thou dost my soul reprieve,
Unpunish'd after my desert,
Dost not give me up, or leave
To my own evil heart.
With vile idolatry,
Oft provoked my injured Lord
To turn His eyes from me;
Yet Thou dost my soul reprieve,
Unpunish'd after my desert,
Dost not give me up, or leave
To my own evil heart.
Hadst Thou left me, Lord, alone,
And quite withdrawn Thy grace,
Every act I should have done
Of desperate wickedness:
But Thou hast my manners borne
That, saved from all idolatry,
All my soul to God may turn,
And worship none but Thee.
