Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: Church Book #360 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Weary of wandering from my God, And now made willing to return, I hear, and bow me to the rod; For Thee, not without hope, I mourn: I have an Advocate above, A Friend before the throne of Love. 2 O Jesus, full of truth and grace, More full of grace than I of sin; Yet once again I seek Thy face, Open Thine arms and take me in; And freely my backslidings heal, And love the faithless sinner still. 3 Thou know'st the way to bring me back, My fallen spirit to restore; O, for Thy truth and mercy's sake, Forgive, and bid me sin no more: The ruins of my soul repair, And make my heart a house of prayer.

Sprinkle thy blood upon my heart, And melt it by thy dying love! This rebel heart by love subdue, And make it soft and make it new. 5 Give to mine eyes refreshing tears, And kindle my relentings now; Fill all my soul with filial fears: To thy sweet yoke my spirit bow: Bend by the grace, O bend or break The iron sinews in my neck!
