| Text: | Oh, for that tenderness of heart |
| Author: | C. Wesley |
1 Oh, for that tenderness of heart
Which bows before the Lord,
Acknowledging how just thou art,
And trembling at thy word:
Oh, for those humble, contrite tears,
Which from repentance flow;
That consciousness of guilt, which fears
The long-suspended blow.
2 Saviour, to me, in pity, give
The sensible distress;
The pledge thou wilt at last receive,
And bid me die in peace:
Wilt from the dreadful day remove,
Before the evil come;
My spirit hide with saints above--
My body in the tomb.
