| Friends and ministers said much | F |
| The gospel to enforce | G |

| Thus afraid to trust His grace | L |
| Long time did I rebel | M |
| Till despairing of my case | L |
| Down at His feet I fell | N |

| And subdued me to His sway | P |
| By a simple word He spoke | O |
| Thy sins are done away | P |
