My soul!—thy hasty censure spare,
Repress the bitter tone—
Forbear thy brother's faults to judge,-—
And watchful, scan thy own.
Hast thou th' unwearied gifts of heaven
Beheld with thoughtless pride?
Ungratefully their blessings shar'd,
Or madly misapply'd? —
In the "far country" of thy sin.
Hast thou perceived with pain.
The evils of thy wayward course,
And sought thy God again?
And was thy penitence receiv'd,
And was the rebel lov'd?—
Then, with the Prodigal, adore
The mercy thou hast prov'd.
