Could my heart so hard remain,
Prayer a task and burden prove,
Every trifle give me pain,
If knew a Saviour’s love?
When I turn my eyes within,
All is dark, and vain, and wild;
Filled with unbelief and sin,
Can I deem myself a child?
Yet I mourn my stubborn will,
Find my sin a grief and thrall;
Should I grieve or what I feel,
If I did not love at all?
Lord, decide the doubtful case;
Thou who art thy people’s Sun,
Shine upon thy work of grace,
If it be, indeed, begun.
Let me love thee more and more,
If I love at all, I pray;
If I have not loved before,
Help me to begin to-day.
