Wo unto me! how oft I have

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wo unto me! how oft I have Transgress'd and gone astray; To Satan I have been a slave, And lov'd the sinful way. 2 My God was ever kind to me, And great has been his love. How could I so unthankful be; So disobedient prove. 3 My conscience testify to me, According to thy word, That is strict justice I should be, Accursed from my Lord. 4 O! gracious Lord, I well do know, That wretched is my case; But whether can I flee or go, To reach redeeming grace. 5 Not man nor angel can relieve My mind with guilt oppress'd: Not heav'n itself such comforts give, To set my heart at rest. 6 O blessed Jesus, unto thee, To thee will I attend; To thee my refuge, Lord I flee! Thou art my Lord and friend. 7 Thy suff'rings and thy dying groans; Thy blood which freely stream'd, For all my sin and guilt atones; Bu which I was redeem'd. Topics: Confession of Sin
