第444章 LXXII

"That our deserts unfitting are to place I' the scale against our mighty debt, I know;

Nor pardon can we hope, if we retrace Our sinful lives; but if thou shouldst bestow In aid, the gift of they redeeming grace, The account is quit and balanced, that we owe;

Nor can we of thy succour, Lord, despair, While we in mind thy saving mercy bear."
