LESSON VIII. All Sins to be avoided

Guard me, O God, from every sin, Let heart, and tongue and life be clean; Let me not use an oath profane, Nor takethy holy namein vain. No sacred thing should I deride, Nor scoff, nor rail, nor brawl, nor chide: My soul should every lie detest And every base and filthy jest. O may I learn to lay aside The wanton eye, and thoughts of pride: And that which leads to every crime, The vain mispence of sacred time.
