12.

Like a guilty thing I moan,
Fluſh'd my cheek, my ſins I own,
Hear, O God, Thy ſuppliant's groan!

13.

Magdalen found grace with Thee,
So the thief upon the tree;
Hope Thou giveſt e'en to me.

14.

Worthleſs are my vows, I know,
Yet, dear Lord, Thy pity ſhow,
Leſt I ſink in endleſs woe.

15.

From the goats my lot divide,
With Thy lambs a place provide,
On Thy right and near Thy ſide.
