:Joseph Hart, 1759 | |||
1. Come, my soul, and let us try | |||
For a little season, | |||
Every burden to lay by; | |||
Come, and let us reason. | |||
What is this that casts thee down? | |||
Who are they that grieve you? | |||
Speak, and let the worst be known; | |||
Speaking may relieve you. | |||
2. O! I sink beneath the load | |||
Of my nature's evil; | |||
Full of enmity to God, | |||
Captived by the Devil. | |||
Restless as the troubled seas, | |||
Feeble, faint and fearful, | |||
Plagued with every sore disease, | |||
How can I be cheerful? | |||
3. Think on what your Savior bore | |||
In the gloomy garden, | |||
Sweating blood from every pore, | |||
To procure thy pardon; | |||
See him stretched upon the wood, | |||
Bleeding, grieving, crying! | |||
Suffering all the wrath of God, | |||
Groaning, gasping, dying! | |||
4. This by faith I sometimes view; | |||
And those views relieve me; | |||
But my sins return anew, | |||
Those are they that grieve me. | |||
O! I'm leprous, stinking, foul, | |||
Quite throughout infected; | |||
Have not I, if any soul, | |||
Cause to be dejected? | |||
5. Think how loud the dying Lord | |||
Cried out, "It is finished." | |||
Treasure up that sacred word | |||
Whole and undiminished; | |||
Doubt not: he will carry on, | |||
To its full perfection, | |||
That good work he has begun, | |||
Why then this dejection? | |||
6. Faith, when void of works, is dead, | |||
This the Scriptures witness; | |||
And what works have I to plead, | |||
Who am all unfitness? | |||
All my powers are depraved, | |||
Blind, perverse, and filthy: | |||
If from death I'm fully saved, | |||
Why am I not healthy? | |||
7. Think not on thyself too long, | |||
Lest it sink thee lower; | |||
Look to Jesus, kind and strong, | |||
Mercy joined with power; | |||
Every work that thou must do | |||
Will thy gracious Savior | |||
For thee work, and in thee too, | |||
Of his special favor. | |||
8. Jesus' precious blood, once spilled, | |||
I depend on solely; | |||
To release and clear my guilt, | |||
But I would be holy.'' | |||
He that bought thee on the cross | |||
Can control thy nature; | |||
Fully purge away the dross, | |||
Make thee a new creature. | |||
9. That he can I nothing doubt, | |||
Be it but his pleasure. | |||
Though it be not done throughout, | |||
May it not in measure? | |||
When that measure, far from great, | |||
Still shall seem decreasing… | |||
Faint not then, but pray and wait, | |||
Never never ceasing. | |||
10. What if prayer meets no regard? | |||
Still repeat it often. | |||
But I feel myself so hard; | |||
Jesus will thee soften. | |||
But my enemies make head. | |||
Let them closer drive thee. | |||
But I'm cold, I'm dark, I'm dead. | |||
Jesus will revive thee.}} | |||
