A Prayer to God for a Blessing to this Work
A Prayer to God for a Blessing to this Work
Correct this Work my God, I pray,
Let it corrected be:
Amend each Line, when 'tis review'd,
Thou all its Faults can see.
Grant that thy Holy Spirit may
A polish'd Shaft thus send
Unto the Sinners Conscience;
To love the Sinners Friend.
Tho' I'm an Instrument so weak,
I know thou can'st impart,
Some of those artless Thoughts of mine,
To warm thy People's Heart.
And if thou dost a Blessing give,
Oh! may I thankful be;
And know the Talent I employ,
Was only lent to me.
