Smote by the law, I'm justly slain;
Great God, behold my case;
Pity a sinner fill'd with pain.
Nor drive me from thy face.
Dread terrors fright my guilty soul�
Thy justice, all in flames.
Gives sentence on this heart so foul,
So hard, so full of crimes.
'Tis trembling hardness that I feel;
I fear, but don't relent,�
Perhaps of endless death the seal:
Oh, that I could repent!
My pray'rs, my tears, my vows are vile:
My duties black with guilt;
On such a wretch can mercy smile,
Tho' Jesus' blood was spilt?
Speechless I sink to endless night,
I see an op'ning hell;
But lo! what glory strikes my sight!
Such glory who can tell!
Enrapt in these bright beams of peace,
I feel a gracious God:
Swell, swell the note: Oh, tell his grace;
Sound his high praise abroad!
