Amid thy wrath, remember love;
Restore thy servant, Lord;
Nor let a Father's chastening prove
Like an avenger's sword.
My sins a heavy load appear,
And o'er my head are gone;
The burden, Lord, I cannot bear,
Nor e'er the guilt atone.
But, I'll confess my guilty ways,
And grieve for all my sin;
I'll mourn how weak the seeds of grace,
And beg support divine.
Thou art my God, my only hope,
And thou wilt hear my cry;
Thou, Lord, wilt bear my spirit up,
Nor let thy servant die.
My thoughts are like a troubled sea
My head still bending down;
And I go mourning all the day,
Beneath my Father’s frown.
All my desire to thee is known;
Thine eye counts every tear;
And every sigh, and every groan,
Is noticed by thine ear.
---Alternative verses---
My sins a heavy load appear,
And o'er my head are gone;
Too heavy they for me to bear,
Too hard for me to atone.
My God, forgive my follies past,
And be for ever nigh;
Thou God of my salvation, haste,
Before thy servant die.
