When dead in many sins And trespasses I lay, I kindled, holy God, Your anger ev'ry day. 2 It is Your work alone That I am now converted; O'er Satan's work in me You have Your might asserted. Your mercy and Your grace That rise afresh each morn Have turned my stony heart Into a heart newborn. 3 Lord, You have raised me up To joy and exultation, And led me on the way That I may know salvation. My sins are washed away, For this I thank You, Lord; And with my heart and soul I trust Your holy Word. 4 Grant that Your Spirit's help To me be always given Lest I should fall again And lose the way to heaven; That He may give me strength In my infirmity And e'er renew my heart To serve You willingly.
