Tliin'k gemly of the erring ! Y kow not of the power With whichttie ilark temptateun me In some iiíijjtiantcíl liour. Yo mny not lmow Kö carnertif Thy etrtiggled, ot how woll, Unril th hour of adnc88 canie, And eadly tltus iliey feil. Think zni!y of ilic orring ! Oh, do not thcii forget, llowcvor d;irkly 6taincd by sin, }le in thy lirother yct. Jlvir ot ihe solf-samo huritngo ! Ciiilct of tho eclf-satnc God ! ll-li.-nh but stumblcd in the pnth Tiou hnst in wcaknesa trod. Sjwsak gccttly to tho erring l l'or 18 it not n.)tii?lt That innoccncc and pencc nro gouo, Without thy censuro rough ? It hu re must bc a vc;iry lot Tiiat sin-cruïhed lic.irt to beur, And tliey wlio sharo a happier fato, Thcir chidings wcll may sparo. Spcak ktndly to the erring I Thou yet may'st load them back, With holy worda and toncs of lovc, Front iiiwcry's thorny track, Forgot not 'thou haat oftcn sinned, And sinful yet may bc 1 Dual gontly vvitli tho erring ono Au God hath dualt with thoe !
