The Lamentation of a New-born Soul

Author: Newton Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #196 (1844) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: O Lord! how vile am I Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how vile am I, Unholy and unclean! How can I dare to venture nigh With such a load of sin? 2 Is this polluted heart A dwelling fit for thee? Swarming, alas! in every part, What evils do I see! 3 [If I attempt to pray, And lisp thy holy name; My thoughts are hurried soon away, I know not where I am.] 4 [If in thy word I look, Such darkness fills my mind; I only read a sealèd book, And no relief can find.] 5 [Thy gospel oft I hear, But hear it still in vain; Without desire, or love, or fear, I like a stone remain.] 6 Myself can hardly bear This wretched heart of mine! How hateful, then, must it appear To those pure eyes of thine! 7 And must I, then, indeed, Sink in despair and die? Fain would I hope that thou didst bleed For such a wretch as I. 8 That blood which thou hast spilt, That grace which is thy own, Can cleanse the vilest sinner’s guilt, And soften hearts of stone. 9 Low at thy feet I bow; O pity and forgive! Here will I lie, and wait till thou Shalt bid me rise and live. Topics: Regeneration and Conversion Languages: English
