Oh for a principle within
Of jealous, godly fear!
Oh for a tender dread of sin—
A pain to feel it near!
That I from thee no more may part,
No more thy goodness grieve,
The filial awe, the fleshly heart,
The tender conscience, give.
Quick as the apple of the eye,
O God! my conscience make;
Awake my soul when sin is nigh,
And keep it still awake.
If to the right or left I stray,
That moment, Lord, reprove;
And let me weep my life away,
For having g eyed thy love.
Oh, may the least omission pain
My well-instructed soul;
And drive me to the blood again,
Which makes the wound whole!
