Wilt thou ‘not hurt me,’ dearest Lord,
While I have been to thee untrue,
And each revolving door presents
Fresh scenes of sorrow to my view?
‘Not hurt me!’ when on dying beds,
In torturing pain so many groan;
Whose lives were more unblemished found,
Their sins less crimson than my own?
‘Not hurt me!’ when my glaring crimes
Aloud for speedy vengeance call;
And ‘midst unnumbered pangs of woe,
Deserve the worst, deserve them all!
Now let my heart and tongue unite,
To celebrate thy glorious name;
Thy rich forbearance and thy grace,
Will I with thankfulness proclaim.
