LESSON XVI. Of Faith and Repentance
by Philip Doddridge (1773–1832)
They must repent, and must believe, Who Christ's salvation would receive. O may thy spirit faith impart, And work repentance in my heart. The sins and follies I have done, Humbled in dust I would bemoan; And while past guilt I thus deplore, I would repeat that guilt no more. So shall thy grace my sins forgive, Jesus shall smile, and I shall live.
