Clarkson's Prayer for Sierra Leone In graft into their hearts a proper
sense of duty, and enable them through Thy grace to conduct themselves as
Christians, that they may not come to Thy house without that pleasing emotion
which every grateful man must feel when paying adoration to the Author of
life. But I have a great reason to fear, O Lord, that many who frequent
thy church do not approach thy presence as becomes them, and that they may
partly be compared to the Scribes. Pharisees, and hypocrites. Pardon,
O God, their infirmities, and as thou knowest their weakness from
the manner in which they have formerly been treated, and the little opportunity they have had of knowing thy will and getting acquainted with the merits of thy
Son,
