Author: Samuel Stennett Appears in 147 hymnals 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 How long, dear Saviour, shall I feel
These strugglings in my breast?
When wilt Thou bow my stubborn will,
And give my conscience rest?
4 Break, sovereign Grace, oh, break the charm,
And set the captive free;
Reveal, Almighty God, Thine arm,
And haste to rescue me.
Amen. Topics: Self Abasement; Backsliding; Confession of Sin; Contrition; Spiritual Declension; Heart Natural; Inconstancy; Penitence; Repentance; Wandering from God Used With Tune: LYNDHURST
