i wha deserve most just damnation
for broken ws,
five thousand years ere my creation,
thro' adam's cause?
when frae my mither's womb i fell,
thou might hae plunged me in hell,
to gnash my gums, to weep and wail,
in burnin kes,
where damned devils roar and yell,
'd to their stakes.
yet i am here a chosen sample,
to show thy grace is great and ample;
i'm here a pilr o' thy temple,
strong as a rock,
a guide, a buckler, and example,
to a' thy flock.
o lord, thou kens what zeal i bear,
when drinkers
