Were mean, were miserable all.
Hallelujah!
And therefore doth my courage rise,
Thy servant wilt Thou not despise;
The gracious mind that dwells in Thee
Fills me with hope and gladdens me.
Hallelujah!
Lord! though I've pass'd in sin my days,
And wandered far from wisdom's ways,
Yet therefore Thou to earth hast come,
