Repentance.

"Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound."
Almighty God! I call to thee, By shame and anguish shaken; Incline thy gracious ear to me, And leave me not forsaken; For who, that feels the power within Of past remorse and present sin, Can stand, O Lord, before thee!
On thee alone my stay I place, All human help rejecting, Relying on thy sovereign grace— Thy sovereign aid expecting; I rest upon thy sacred word, That thou'lt repulse me not, O Lord, Who to thy mercy fleeth.
And though I travail all the night, And travail all the morrow, My trust is in Jehovah's might— My triumph in my sorrow; Forgetting not that thou of old Didst Israel, though weak, uphold— When weakest, thou most loving.
For though my sinfulness is great, Redeeming grace is greater! And though all hell should lie in wait, Supreme is my Creator; For he my King and Shepherd is, And when most helpless, most I'm his, My strength and my Redeemer!
[From the German of Luther.]
