Father, if I may call thee so,
Regard my fearful heart's desire:
Remove this load of guilty woe,
Nor let me in my sins expire!
I tremble lest the wrath divine,
"Which bruises now my wretched soul,
Should bruise this wretched soul of mine
Long as eternal ages roll.
To thee my last distress I bring;
The heightened fear of death I find:
The tyrant, brandishing his sting,
Appears, and hell is close behind.
I deprecate that death alone,
That endless banishment from thee:
O save, and give me to thy Son,
Who trembled, wept, and bled for me?
---Alternative verses---
Father, if I may call thee so,
I tremble with my one desire:
Lift up this heavy load of woe,
Nor let me in my sins expire!
I tremble lest the wrath divine,
"Which bruises now my sinful soul,
Should bruise and break soul of mine
Long as eternal ages roll.
Thy wrath I fear, thy wrath alone,
That endless exile, Lord, from thee:
O save! O give me to thy Son,
Who trembled, wept, and bled for me?
