Hymn Context Compare
Forgive my sin­ful­ness.
That would me ov­er­flow.
Unhonored and un­mourned.
God is my strength, nor will I fear
Thou wilt an­swer when I call,
Like sha­dows swift my days de­cline,
Thou hast de­liv­ered me,
O let Thine an­gel fight for me,
A heal­ing oint­ment it shall be.
On Thee my stead­fast hopes re­pose,
start
O’er all the earth Thy hands have made.
Because I have of­fend­ed Thee.
Well, Mine own arm has might enough

My foe

So ma­ny and so bold,
That would have made me thrall;
By seem­ing kind­ness led,
One pri­vi­lege my heart de­sires;
Triumph in Thy serv­ant’s fall.
They shake their head in scorn at me.
Hast giv­en me to see.
Without a cause my life they sought,
To Thee my con­stant pray­er shall rise,
To God I cried―my ev­en­ing pray­er
Somebody knows, some­bo­dy knows,
With trea­cher­ous plans my way en­close;
When shall he die? his name de­cay?
Slaughter and My de­vour­ing sword
