When enemies confess, None but the righteous, whom they hate, A solid hope possess, 4 But Balaam's wish was vain, His heart was insincere: He thirsted for unrighteous gain, And sought a portion here. 5 He seem'd the Lord to know, And to offend him loth; But Mammon prov'd his overthrow, For none can serve them both. 6 May we, O Lord, most high, Warning from hence receive, If like the righteous we would die, To choose the life they live.

Fain would I hope that thou didst bleed For such a wretch as I. 7 That blood which thou hast spilt, That grace which is thine own; Can cleanse the vilest sinner's guilt, And soften hearts of stone. 8 Low at thy feet I bow, O pity and forgive!
