Ah! wretched, vile, ungrateful heart,
That can from Jesus thus depart;
Thus fond of trifles vainly rove,
Forgetful of a Saviour’s love.
In vain I charge my thoughts to stay,
And chide each vanity away;
In vain, alas, resolve to bind
This rebel heart, this wand’ring mind,
Through all resolves how soon it flies,
And mocks the weak. the slender ties;
There’s nought beneath a pow’r divine,
That can this roving heart confine.
Jesus, to thee I would return,
And at thy feet repenting mourn:
There let me view thy pardoning love,
And never from thy sight remove.
O let thy love, with sweet control,
Bind all the passions of my soul;
Bid every vanity depart,
And dwell forever in my heart.
---Alternative verses---
Dear Lord! to thee I would return,
And at thy feet repenting mourn:
There let me view thy pardoning love,
And never from thy sight remove.
O let thy love, with sweet control,
Bind every passion of my soul;
Bid every vanity depart,
And dwell forever in my heart.
