- 1Ah! whither should I go,
- Burdened and sick, and faint!
- To whom should I my trouble show,
- And pour out my complaint!
- 2My Saviour bids me come;
- Ah! why do I delay?
- He calls the weary sinner home,
- And yet from him I stay.
- 3What is it keeps me back,
- From which I cannot part,
- Which will not let the Saviour take
- Possession of my heart?
- 4Searcher of hearts, in mine
- Thy trying power display;
- Into its darkest corners shine,
- And take all sin awy.
