- 1With tears of anguish, I lament,
- Here at thy feet, my God,
- My passion, pride, and discontent,
- And vile ingratitude.
- 2Sure there was ne'er a heart so base,
- So false as mine hath been,
- So faithless to its promises,
- So prone to every sin!
- 3My reason tells me thy commands
- Are holy, just, and true;
- Tells me whate'er my God demands
- Is his most righteous due.
- 4Reason I hear, her counsels weigh,
- And all her words approve;
- But still I find it hard t' obey,
- And harder yet to love.
- 5How long, dear Saviour, shall I feel
- These strugglings in my breast?
- When wilt thou bow my stubborn will,
- And give my conscience rest?
