Alas can such a wretch be sav'd

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CLXXX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas can such a wretch be sav'd, Such as I e'er have been; My life is unto vice enslav'd, And all I do is sin. 2 My covenant with God is broke, My claim to heav'n is gone And sin and guilt a heavy yoke, Bear all my comforts down. 3 Lord, were I driv'n from thy face, For e'er to take my flight Beyond the reach of pard'ning grace: Thy judgments would be right. 4 Not men nor Angels can relieve, My mind with guilt oppress'd; Not heav'n itself relief can give, Nor ease my troubles breast. 5 My case is bad, and still much more, Although distress'd I feel; I do not yet possess that pow'r That sanctifies my will. 6 I truly see my wants indeed; But yet I do not find, Such godly sorrow as I need: To work an humble mind. 7 But thou, my God, hast pow'r I know; Such graces to impart, That can create my mind anew And work a change of heart.
