4Then while the error we would shun,

We still would aid the erring one

To turn from sin's unpitying sway,

To virtue's fair and pleasant way.

817. L. M. Miss Edgarton.

The Same.

1Oh shut not out sweet Pity's ray

From souls now clouded o'er by sin;

Touch their deep springs, and let the day

Of Christian love flow freely in.
