A GOOD CONFESSION'. 123
We will back with our hearts in our hands,
For the heart is His one only fee: Forgive us, clear Jesus, forgive,
All we want is forgiveness from Thee. |

A GOOD CONFESSION.
The chains that have bound me are flung to the wind,
By the mercy of God the poor slave is set free; And the strong grace of Heaven breathes fresh o'er the mind, Like the bright winds of summer that gladden the sea. |
||
There was naught in God's world half so dark or so vile As the sin and the bondage that fettered my soul; There was naught half so base as the malice and guile Of my own sordid passions, or Satan's control.
For years I have borne about hell in my breast;
When I thought of my God it was nothing but gloom ; Day brought me no pleasure, night gave me no rest,
There was still the grim shadow of horrible doom. |
