Remember from whence thou art fallen. Revelation 1:5.
When we have stumbled, it chiefly proceeded from unbelief, therefore instead of disputing long with ourselves, we must stir up our hearts so much more to faith; and before we go on, seek first with a humble sense of our guilt and weakness, new pardon and strength in Christ; and afterwards keep close and steadfastly to him also by faith, like a weak child, to draw from him alone all necessary virtues evermore. Thus we shall be preserved by him from falling again.
O could we call to mind the grace,
The glorious grace from which we fell;
Live over again the ancient days,
And do the works thou lovest so well!
O that we might through thee repent,
And timely turn to thee and live!
So should thy grace our doom prevent,
Thou wouldst abundantly forgive.
Before thou dost in vengeance come,
Our candlestick far off remove,
And fix the unalterable doom;
O let us weep, believe, and love.
Call on us, by thy spirit call,
Yet once again our church restore,
Show us thy grace is over all.
And lift us up to fall no more.
