Indwelling Sin lamented

Author: Dr. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XXXIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: With tears of anguish I lament Lyrics: 1 With tears of anguish I lament, Here at they feet, my God, My passion, pride, and discontent And vile ingratitude. 2 Sure there was ne'er a heart so base So false as mine has been; So faithless to its promises, So prone to every sin? 3 My reason tells me thy commands Are holy, just, and true; Tells me whate'er my God demands Is his most righteous due. 4 Reason I hear, her counsels weigh, And all her words approve: But still I find it hard t' obey, And harder yet to love. 5 How long, dear Savior, shall I feel Those struggles in my breast? When wilt thou bow my stubborn will, And give my conscience rest? 6 Break, sovereign grace, O break the charm And set the captive free: Reveal, Almighty God, thine arm, And haste to rescue me.
