Left free the human will.

Teach me to feel another's woe,
To right the fault I see;
That mercy I to others show,
That mercy show to me.

In every clime adored,
By saint, by savage, and by sage,
Jehovah, Jove, or Lord!

Presume Thy bolts to throw,
And deal damnation round the land
On each I judge Thy foe.

Thou Great First Cause, least understood
Who all my sense confined
To know but this, that Thou art good
And that myself am blind.

If I am right, Thy grace import
Still in the right to stay;
If I am wrong, oh teach my heart
To find that better way!
