Hymnal: Psalms, carefully suited to the Christian worship in the United States of America #140b (1791) First Line: Deep in our hearts let us record Lyrics: 1 Deep in our hearts let us record
The deeper sorrows of our Lord;
Behold the rising billows roll,
To overwhelm his holy soul.
2 In long complaints, he spends his breath,
While hosts of hell, and pow'rs of death,
And all the sons of malice join
To execute their curs'd design.
3 Yet, gracious God, thy pow'r and love
Has made the curse a blessing prove;
Those dreadful suff'rings of thy Son
Aton'd for crimes which we have done.
4 The pangs of our expiring Lord,
The honors of thy law restor'd:
His sorrows made thy justice known,
And paid for follies not his own.
7 O for his sake our guilt forgive,
And let the mourning sinner live;
The Lord will hear us in his name,
Nor shall our hope be turn'd to shame. Scripture: Psalm 69 Languages: English
Christ's passion, and sinners salvation
