With Tears of Anguish I Lament
Here at thy feet, my God
My passion, pride, and discontent
And vile ingratitude.
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.
My reason tells me thy commands
Are holy, just and true;
Tells me whate'er my God demands
Is His most righteous due.
Reason I hear, her counsels weigh.
And all her words approve;
But still I find it hard to obey,
And harder yet to love.
How long, dear Saviour, shall I feel
These struggles in my breast?
When wilt thou bow my stubborn will,
And give my conscience rest?
Break, sovereign Grace, O break the charm,
And set the captive free;
Reveal, Almighty God, thine arm,
And haste to rescue me.
