19. I would I were converted Would sin and I were parted, For folly I have smarted; God make me honest-hearted!
20. I have to Grace appealed, Would 'twere to me revealed, And Pardon to me sealed, Then should I soon be healed!
21 Whose Nature God hath mended, Whose sinful course is ended, who is to life ascended, Of God is much befriended.
22. Oh! Were I reconciled To God, I, tho defiled, Should be as one that smiled, To think my death was spoiled.
22. Oh! Were I reconciled To God, I, tho desiled, Should be as one that smiled, To think my death was spoiled.
