John Duick.

Great God, Thy judgments all are just and right;

Thou art all pity, and to anger slow;

But I have done such evil in Thy sight,

That mercy now with justice cannot flow.

As leaves no choice but how to deal the blow;

Such guilt to pardon would Thy honour blight,

And even Thy goodness seals my final woe.

Consult Thy glory, then withhold no more,
