968. Lord, I believe, Thou wilt forgive. [from Hymns on the Four Gospels, and Acts of the Apostles. Including Such "Short Hymns" as Were Published in 1762.]

1868

"The gospel-faith Divine impart, / Which seals my pardon on my heart."

Lord, I believe, Thou wilt forgive,
  But help me to believe Thou dost:
The answer of Thy promise give,
  Wherein Thou causest me to trust,
The gospel-faith Divine impart,
Which seals my pardon on my heart.
