All People, &c.

O Thou that dost in Heaven Reign!
We all are as a thing unclean;
And all our righteousnesses are
As filthy rags, unfit to wear.

And therefore are we justly made
Like as a Leaf, to fall and fade:

And our transgressions, bearing sway, As wind have taken us away.

Psal. 107.25.77.17, 18.

At thy command big storms arise, Thunder and lightning fill the Skies; The Clouds pour down their watry load, Thy flaming Arrows fly abroad.

Joel 2.17. Isa. 64.9. Hab. 3.2.

O spare thy People, gracious God! Redeemed with thy precious Blood: Keep not our sins upon record, In wrath remember mercy, Lord.
