Smote by the law, I'm justly slain

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Penitence of the awakened sinner Penitence Lyrics: 1 Smote by thy law, I'm justly slain; Great God, behold my case; Pity a sinner fill'd with pain, Nor drive me from thy face. 2 Dread terrors fright my guilty soul-- Thy justice, all in flames, Gives sentence on this heart so foul, So hard, so full of crimes. 3 'Tis trembling hardness that I feel; I fear, but don't relent,-- Perhaps of endless death the seal: Oh, that I could repent! 4 My pray'rs, my tears, my vows are vile; My duties black with guilt; On such a wretch can mercy smile, Tho' Jesus' blood was spilt? 5 Speechless I sink to endless night, I see an opening hell: But lo! what glory strikes my sight! Such glory who can tell! 6 Enwrapt in these bright beams of peace, I feel a gracious God: Swell, swell the note: Oh, tell his grace; Sound his high praise abroad! Scripture: Romans 7:9

With tears of anguish I lament

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 147 hymnals Topics: Penitence of the awakened sinner Penitence Lyrics: 1 With tears of anguish I lament, Here at thy 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 Saviour, shall I feel These strugglings in my breast? When wilt thou bow my stubborn will, And give my conscience rest? 6 Break, sov'reign grace, O break the charm, And set the captive free: Reveal, Almighty God, thine arm, And haste to rescue me.
