Moses Prays For His People

Moses’ Prayer For His People

Lord give pardon to sinners this I ask of  Thee
Do not wipe out this nation from Thy all stern sight
The world’s heathens will say that our waste was your goal
Thou called these stiff neck people out purposing graves?
And the heathen will say your intent was evil
Now the sacred held covenant claims vow in faith
Thus in deference yield to that oath do not scathe
Thou called these stiff neck people out purposing graves?
Let destruction not be for all those who curse Thee
Then God listened to Moses, repented in mind.
And forgave his bad people their evil conduct
God renewed his past covenant blessing instead
