Saviour, Prince, enthroned above,
Repentance to impart,
Give me, through thy dying love,
The humble, contrite heart:
Give what I have long implored—
Let me share thy grief unknown:
Turn and look upon me, Lord,
And break my heart of stone.
See me, Saviour, from above,
Nor suffer me to die;
Life, and happiness, and love
Beam from thy gracious eye:
Speak the reconciling word
All its melting power make known
Turn and look upon me, Lord,
And break my heart of stone.
Look, as when thy dying eye
Was closed, that we might live,
When the supplicating cry
To God was heard, “Forgive:”
Surely, with that dying word,
Jesus turns and says, ‘tis done:
Oh my bleeding, loving Lord,
This breaks my heart of stone!
