HYMN 485. (3. PART.)
Argument.
God's mercies larger than from East to West,Parents have no such pity in their breast.
[verse 11] FOR as the Sky is far more high,Than Earths inferiour Frame;So ample his compassion isto them that fear his Name. [verse 12] And as the East is from the Westa distance marvellous:So far, I say, he puts awayour Trespasses from us.
[verse 13] And as the mind of Fathers kindis towards their Children dear;So doth the Lord much Grace affordto them that do him fear. [verse 14] For he can tell and knows full wellhow quickly we are crush'd:He calls to mind out brittle kind,and knows we are but dust.
