5 O may thy love inspire my tongue! And all my powers shall join to bless 355. L. M. WATTS. A Penitent pleading for Pardon. Ps. 51. 1 SHOW pity, Lord; O Lord, forgive; Let a repenting rebel live: Are not thy mercies large and free? 2 My crimes are great, but can't surpass 3 0 wash my soul from every sin, 4 Yet, save a trembling sinner, Lord, 356. C. M. DODDRIDGE.
