[When shall my grief and pain]
When shall my grief and pain
Thy kind compassion move?
Thou know'st I languish still to' attain
The happiness of love:
If Thou my suit deny,
Out of Thy presence cast,
Excluded from Thy love, I die,
I die unsaved at last.
Thy kind compassion move?
Thou know'st I languish still to' attain
The happiness of love:
If Thou my suit deny,
Out of Thy presence cast,
Excluded from Thy love, I die,
I die unsaved at last.
How shall I plead with Thee,
Saviour of sinful men?
Let Thy own dying love for me
Thy pitying heart constrain:
The universal load,
The cross Thou didst endure
With all the vengeful wrath of God,
To make my pardon sure.
Saviour of sinful men?
Let Thy own dying love for me
Thy pitying heart constrain:
The universal load,
The cross Thou didst endure
With all the vengeful wrath of God,
To make my pardon sure.
That grace unspeakable
Thou only canst impart,
And by Thy Spirit of faith reveal
The secret in my heart:
Ah, give me now to know
Thy life hath ransom'd mine,
And bid my sprinkled heart o'erflow
With charity Divine.

The infinite I AM,
The Lord of earth and heaven,
The' eternal God, the bleeding Lamb
For dear-bought sinners given,
Appear as crucified
Jehovah from above,
And conscious of Thy blood applied,
My Lord, my God, I love.
