George Herbert's Prayer before a Sermon

"Thou hast exalted thy mercy above all things,
and hast made our salvation,
not our punishment,
thy glory:
So that then where sin abounded,
not death but grace superabounded
-- accordingly, when we had sinned beyond any help
in heaven or earth,
then thou saidest,
Lo, I come."

George Herbert
