August 1, 1761. Aetatis 21 (21st birthday) O Lord God I desire this day to avouch thee for my only Lord and everlasting portion. I confess I have sinned and dishonoured thy name but I now supplicate forgiveness at thy hand through a precious Saviour's blood. According to thy promise do thou heal my backslidings and cleanse me from pollution. My whole soul and body I this day devote to thee and subscribe with my hand that I am thine Jonah ii 8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercies.
This blog is about the 18th century Baptist pastor, hymn writer and theologian John Fawcett
