Great Author of my being,
I am consumed with care;
The ills of thy decreeing,
Enable me to bear:
The spirit of contrition,
Oh, may I now receive;
For all my soul's ambition
Is worthily to grieve.
The grief beyond expressing,
To me, O Lord, impart;
I ask this only blessing—
An humble, broken heart;
The justice of thy sentence
With meekest awe to own;
And spend, in deep repentance,
My last, expiring groan.
In that decisive hour,
When pain, with life, shall end,
Then, O thou God of power
Thou God of love, attend!
And bear, oh, bear my burden,
And help my last distress;
And give me back my pardon,
An bid me die in peace!
