Text:	Evil I Then Must Be
Author:	Charles Wesley
Tune:	GÖTTINGEN
Composer:	Anonymous
Media:	MIDI file

Evil I then must be
Who bring forth evil fruit:
Corrupt the fruit, corrupt the tree,
And most corrupt the root;
Whatever gift or grace
Thou hast on me bestowed,
Lord, I with all my soul confess,
That yet I am not good.
