Ah! then I see that I should pray
For all who hurt me, vex, or tease,
By spiteful things they do or say.
Alas! I feel my heart’s inclin’d
To do to them as they to me,
And by my words and deeds unkind
To let all such my anger see.
Yet I have sinn’d against my God,
And disobey’d ten thousand times:
Am I prepar’d to feel his rod
