While others say, ‘Have patience Lord
And we will pay thee all;’
I with a contrite broken heart,
Aloud for mercy call.
The blessing which I want is this—
To see my sins forgiven;
Those sins which fill with present grief,
And bar the way to heaven.
Father of mercies, show thy love,
And Jesus’ blood apply;
Raise from a state of deep distress,
And set me up on high.
