Chatterton.

“Thy Spirit knows I love Thee.” Worthless wretch,

To dare to love a God! But, grace requires—

And grace accepts—Love divine

Constrains me; I am thine. Incarnate Love

Has seized and holds me in Almighty arms:

Here’s my salvation, my eternal hope,

Amidst the wreck of worlds and dying nature,

“I am the Lord’s; and He for ever mine.”

Watts.
