Sae I'm watching aye, an' singin' o' my hame as I wait

For the soun'ing o' His footfa' this side the gowden gate:

God gie His grace to ilka ane wha' listens noo to me,

That we a' may gang in gladness to oor ain countrie.

THE SINNER'S FRIEND.

O thou, the contrite sinner's Friend,

Who loving, lov'st them to the end,

On this alone my hopes depend,

That Thou wilt plead for me!
