[No; my sin and shame I own]
He saith to him again the second time, &c.
—xxi. 16.
No; my sin and shame I own,
Burden'd with an heart of stone,
Conscious of my misery,
Destitute of love to Thee.
Burden'd with an heart of stone,
124
Destitute of love to Thee.
But I can to Thee appeal,
Thee who lov'dst my soul so well,
Fain I would the grace obtain,
Love my loving Lord again.
Thee who lov'dst my soul so well,
Fain I would the grace obtain,
Love my loving Lord again.
Till the Crucified appears
Scattering all my griefs and fears,
Humbled in the dust I cry,
Give me love, or else I die.
Scattering all my griefs and fears,
Humbled in the dust I cry,
Give me love, or else I die.
Thou who freely didst resign
Thy own life to ransom mine,
Manifest the mystery,
Show Thy bleeding love for me.
Thy own life to ransom mine,
Manifest the mystery,
Show Thy bleeding love for me.
Only Thy expiring pain
Can my stubbornness constrain:
But if Thou Thy death reveal
Then the riven rock shall feel;
Can my stubbornness constrain:
But if Thou Thy death reveal
Then the riven rock shall feel;
Then I shall to Thee reply,
(Vanquish'd by Thy passion I,)
See the love Thy wounds impart,
Read it Saviour, in my heart.
(Vanquish'd by Thy passion I,)
See the love Thy wounds impart,
Read it Saviour, in my heart.
