[A dog, and worse, alas, am I]
The dog is turned to his own vomit again.
—ii. 22.
A dog, and worse, alas, am I
Who to my vomit turn again,
A thousand times with sin comply,
A thousand times repent in vain;
And then indulge my heart's desire,
And wallow in the brutish mire.
Who to my vomit turn again,
A thousand times with sin comply,
A thousand times repent in vain;
And then indulge my heart's desire,
And wallow in the brutish mire.
Jesus, my refuge in despair,
While unconsumed on earth I live,
If yet Thou canst the sinner bear,
Canst so abundantly forgive,
This only once my peace restore,
But lift me up to fall no more.
While unconsumed on earth I live,
193
Canst so abundantly forgive,
This only once my peace restore,
But lift me up to fall no more.
Pardon itself avails me not,
Unless the pardon I retain;
My sins out of Thy memory blot,
Out of my soul erase the stain;
The root uptear, the mount remove,
And save me by Thine utmost love.
Unless the pardon I retain;
My sins out of Thy memory blot,
Out of my soul erase the stain;
The root uptear, the mount remove,
And save me by Thine utmost love.
