Verse 1
Give sentence, Lord, with me,
For I have injur’d none,
But walk’d in mine Integrity,
And Good for Evil done.
Thou knowst mine Innocence,
And Labour to maintain
A Conscience void of all Offence
Tow’rds Every Soul of Man.
Verse 2
Yet not in This I trust,
But in the Living GOD,
Who died, and rose to make me Just,
By sprinkling me with Blood.
Herein do I confide,
Herein I rest secure,
My feeble Steps shall never slide,
But stand in Jesus sure.
Verse 3
Examine me, O Lord,
Try out my Heart and Reins,
Prove, and discover by thy Word,
Whate’er of Sin remains:
I see thy Pardning Love,
And in the Truth abide,
Till all the Truth in Thee I prove
Forever sanctified.
Verse 4
For this I have forsook
The false dissembling Race,
From all their vain Engagements broke,
And hated all their Ways:
I wash my Hands and Heart
In Innocence Divine;
My Righteousness, O Lord, Thou art,
For all my Sins were Thine.
Verse 5
Cleans’d by thy Sacred Blood
I to thine Altar go,
In Songs to spread thy Name abroad;
And all thy Wonders shew:
Lord, I have lov’d the Place
Where Thou record’st thy Name,
And by the Channels of thy Grace
Forever found I am.
Verse 6
Thro’ Thee resolv’d I am
Mine Innocence to keep,
Uphold me by thy Saving Name
And I shall never slip:
O that I in thy Blood
May full Redemption have;
Renew me, Thou all-gracious GOD,
And to the utmost save.
Verse 7
Here on thy Promise, Lord,
My Foot of Faith stands sure,
Thee will I with thy Saints record,
Till Thou hast made me pure
Then will I bless thy Name,
Till join’d to Those above
The Length, and Breadth, and Height proclaim,
And Depth of Jesus’ Love.
