HYMN 106. (C. M.) Repentance at the Cross.
I
Oh, if my soul was form'd for woe,How would I vent my sighs!
Repentance should like rivers flow
From both my streaming eyes.

II
'Twas for my sins my dearest LordHung on the cursed tree,
And groan'd away a dying life
For thee, my soul, for thee.
III
O how I hate those lusts of mineThat crucify'd my God,
Those sins that pierc'd and nail'd his flesh
Fast to the fatal wood!
IV
Yes, my Redeemer, they shall die,My heart has so decreed,
Nor will I spare the guilty things
That made my Saviour bleed.
V
Whilst with a melting broken heartMy murder'd Lord I view,
I'll raise revenge against my sins,
And slay the murderers too.
