Base tempter, hence depart,
The dreadful charge withdraw;
Too true indeed, I’ve often sinned,
But Christ has kept the law.
Shoundst thou with crimes accuse,
The guilty charge I own;
But trust the promise and the grace
Of God’s incarnate Son.
That boundless grace and love,
Which thou shalt never share.
Is the foundation of my hope,
A refuge from despair.
Enhanced as is my guilt,
Couldst thou increase the score,
I’d fly the swifter to the cross,
And watch and pray the more.
