I have other gods adored

Verse 1
I have other gods ador’d
With vile idolatry,
Oft provok’d my injur’d Lord
To turn his eyes from me;
Yet Thou dost my soul reprive,
Unpunish’d after my desert,
Dost not give me up, or leave
To my own evil heart.

Verse 2
Hadst thou left me, Lord, alone,
And quite withdrawn thy grace,
Every act I should have done
Of desperate wickedness:
But Thou hast my manners borne,
That sav’d from all idolatry,
All my soul to God may turn,
And worship none but Thee.
