Sinner, behold, I've heard thy groan,
I know thy heart, thy life I've known;
I've seen thy hope from grace proclaim'd,
Thy trembling fear when Sinai flam'd.
To me, the mighty God, attend,
In me, behold the sinner's friend;
'Twas I who gave thy conscience voice.
Thou hast oppos'd by sinful choice.
Think not to bribe my sov'reign grace,
Nor move me by a sorrowing face;
'Tis thine own heart makes grace delay,
And hides a pard'ning glorious day.
Mov'd by thy fear, and not by love,
Thy daily pray'rs are sent above;
Thou hast not wish'd my will to meet.
Nor lain submissive at my feet.
Should thy proud will at length submit.
With holy sorrow deeply smit.
Thy voice would be the first to say,
I'm glorious in this long delay.
Stay, sinner, cease my grace to chide,
Nor think thy moan such sin can hide,
Delay no more, repent and live.
Or meet the death my wrath must give.
