While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin.

Additional quotes by Isaac Watts

And he that does one fault at first And lies to hide it, makes it two.

How shall polluted mortals dare
To sing Thy glory or Thy grace
Beneath Thy feet we lie afar
And see but shadows of Thy face.

In works of labour,
or of skill,
I would be busy, too;
For Satan finds some mischief still
For idle hands to do.

My faith would lay her hand On that dear head of Thine, While like a penitent I stand, And there confess my sin. - Isaac Watts
