With kind compassion hear my cry,
O Jesus, Lord of life, on high!
And on thy servant's drooping head,
The dews of blessings sweetly shed.
Change all my sad complaints to ease,
To cheerful notes of endless praise;
A sense of pard'ning favor give,
And raise my mind and bid me live.
My fears of danger while I breathe.
My dread of endless hell beneath.
My sense of sorrow for my sin,
To springing comfort change within.
Be not to me a Judge severe,
For so thy presence who can bear?
But Oh, regard my mournful cry,
And look with mercy's gracious eye.
Then grant, O Lord, that I may burn
To make my Saviour some return;
And be my heart inspired to rise,
On wings of love to yonder skies.
