The Dies Iræ.

12.

Though my ſins with ſhame suffuſe me,
Though my very moans accuſe me,
Canſt Thou, Loving One, refuſe me?

13.

He by whom the Thief was ſhriven
And the Magdalen forgiven
Grants to me the hope of Heaven.

14.

Though unworthy my petition,
Grant me full and free remiſſion,
And redeem me from perdition.

15.

Be my lot in love decreed me:
From the goats in ſafety lead me;
With Thy ſheep forever feed me.
