I own my guilt, my sins confess;
Can men or devils make them more?
Of crimes already numberless.
Vain the attempt to swell the score.
Were the black list before my sight,
While I remember thou hast dy'd,
'Twill only urge my speedier flight.
To seek salvation at thy side.
Low at thy feet I'll cast me down,
To thee reveal my guilt and fear,
And, if thou spurn me from thy throne,
I'll be the first who perish'd there.
