:Joseph Hart, 1759 (Believer – ''Soul'') | |||
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.}} | |||
