'Tis first of all thyself to know,
To feel the plague of sin
Expos'd to everlasting woe
And nothing good within:
To know thy wretched sinful state,
Averse to all that's good;
To feel thy guilt exceeding great,
Thy heart oppos'd to God:
To know thylaw-eondemned case,
And own thy sentence just;
Thy heart subdu'd by eov'reign grace,
And humbled in the dust:
To know the pangs of pious grief,
For sins against the Lord;
To know that nought can give relief.
But trusting in his word:
To know that thou art born of God,
Thy num'rous sins forgiv'n,
Thy soul redeem'd by Jesus' blood.
And thou an heir of heav'n.
