Sin and Sorrows laid before God

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXXVII (1791) First Line: O that I knew the secret Place Lyrics: 1 O that I knew the secret Place Where I might find my God! I'd spread my Wants before his Face, And pour my Woes abroad. 2 I'd tell him how my Sins arise, What Sorrows I sustain, How Grace decays, and Comfort dies, And leaves my Heart in Pain: 3 I'd say how Flesh and Sense rebel, What inward Foes combine, With this vain World and Pow'rs of Hell, To vex this Heart of mine. 4 He knows what Arguments I'd take To wrestle with my God: I'd plead for his won Mercy's sake, And for my Saviour's Blood. 5 My God will pity my Complaints, And heal my broken Bones; He takes the Meaning of his Saints, The Language of their Groans. 6 Arise my Soul from deep Distress, And banish ev'ry Fear; He calls thee to his Throne of Grace, To spread thy Sorrows there.
