- 1Hearts of stone, relent, relent!
- Break, by Jesus' cross subdued;
- See his body, mangled, rent,
- Covered with a gore of blood;
- Sinful soul, what has thou done?
- Murdered God's eternal Son!
- 2Yes, our sins have done the deed,
- Drove the nails that fixed him there;
- Crowned with thorns his sacred head,
- Pierced him with a soldier's spear;
- Made his soul a sacrifice;
- For a sinful world he dies.
- 3Will you let him die in vain?
- Still to death pursue your Lord?
- Open tear his wounds again,
- Trample on his precious blood?
- No! with all my sins I'll part:
- Saviour, take my broken heart.
