Famous quotes containing the word guilt:

    Rock of ages, cleft for me,
    Let me hide myself in Thee!
    Let the Water and the Blood,

    Be of sin the double cure;
    Cleanse me from its guilt and pow’r.

    Let me hide myself in thee!
    Let the water and the blood,
    From thy riven side which flowed,
    Be of sin the double cure;
    Cleanse me from its guilt and pow’r.
    Augustus Montague Toplady (1740–1778)
