Laden with oppressive grief,
To the Lord the sinner flies
There alone he gains relief,
Hence his consolations rise.
Bowing at the sacred throne,
He laments his wretched case ;
Humbly owns himself undone,
Lost without recovering grace.
God beholds his broken heart,
Listens to his earnest cries ;
Bids his sorrows all depart,
Softly wipes his weeping eyes.
Present peace and future bliss,
From true godly sorrow flow ;
None shall e’er the harvest miss,
Who their seed in sadness sow.
