| The hart panteth after the waters, The dying for life that departs; The Lord in His glory for sinners, For the love of rebellious hearts; Behold, I have borne all the judgment, Thy sins, O beloved, are gone; Forgotten, forgotten forever, God seeketh, but findeth not one; A flax-thread in oceans of fire How soon swallowed up would it be! Yet sooner in oceans of mercy The sinner that cometh to Me. |

| As he thinketh in his heart, so is he. (Prov. 23:7) |
