A Penitent pleading for Pardon

Appears in 788 hymnals First Line: Shew Pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive Lyrics: 1 Shew pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive, Let a repenting Rebel live; Are not thy Mercies large and free; May not a Sinner trust in Thee? 2 My Crimes are great, but not surpass The Pow'r and Glory of thy Grace; Great GOD, thy Nature hath no Bound, So let thy pard'ning Love be found. 3 O wash my Soul from ev'ry Sin, And make my guilty Conscience clean; Here on my Heart the Burden lies, And past Offences pain mine Eyes. 4 My Lips with Shame my Sins confess Against thy Law, against thy Grace; Lord, should thy Judgment grow severe, I am condemn'd, but thou art clear. 5 Should sudden Vengeance seize my Breath, I must pronounce Thee just in Death; And if my Soul were sent to Hell, Thy righteous Law approves it well. 6 Yet save a trembling Sinner, Lord, Whose Hope still hov'ring round thy Word, Would light on some sweet Promise there, Some sure Support against Despair.

The mighty GOD, on whom I call, Can save me here as well.

Warning to Magistrates

Appears in 54 hymnals First Line: Judges, who rule the World by Laws Lyrics: 1 Judges, who rule the World by Laws, Will ye despise the righteous Cause, When th' injur'd Poor before you stands? Dare ye condemn the righteous Poor, And let rich Sinners 'scape secure, While Gold & Greatness bribe your Hands? 2 Have ye forgot, or never knew, That GOD will judge the Judges too? High in the Heav'ns his Justice reigns; Yet you invade the Rights of GOD, And send your bold Decrees abroad, To bind the Conscience in your Chains. 3 A poison'd Arrow is your Tongue, The Arrow sharp, the Poison strong, And Death attends where'er it wounds: You hear no Counsels, Cries, or Tears; So the deaf Adder stops her Ears Against the Pow'r of charming Sounds. 4 Break out their Teeth, eternal GOD, Those Teeth of Lions dy'd in Blood; And crush the serpents in the dust: As empty Chaff when Whirlwinds rise Before the sweeping Tempest flies, So let their Hopes and Names be lost. 5 Th' Almighty thunders from the Sky, Their Grandeur melts, their Titles die, As Hills of Snow dissolve and run, Or Snails that perish in their Slime, Or Births that come before their Time, Vain Births that never see the Sun. 6 Thus shall the Vengeance of the Lord Safety and Joy to Saints afford; And all that hear shall join and say, "Sure there's a GOD that rules on high, "A GOD that hears his Children cry, "And will their Suff'rings well repay."
