The Lord will happiness divine

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 125 hymnals Topics: Penitence of the awakened sinner Penitence Lyrics: 1 The Lord will happiness divine On contrite hearts bestow; Then tell me, gracious God! is mine A contrite heart or no? 2 I hear, but seem to hear in vain, Insensible as steel; If ought is felt, 'tis only pain To find I cannot feel. 3 I sometimes think myself inclin'd To love thee, if I could; But often feel another mind, Averse to all that's good. 4 My best desires are faint and few, I fain would strive for more; But when I cry, "My strength renew," Seem weaker than before. 5 Thy saints are comforted, I know And love thy house of pray'r; I sometimes go where others go, But find no comfort there. 6 Oh, make this heart rejoice or ache;— Decide this doubt for me; And, if it be not broken, break— And heal it, if it be. Scripture: Isaiah 57:15

When I to God draw near in pray'r, I feel the conflict even there! 2 I mourn, because I cannot mourn, I hate my sin, yet cannot turn; I grieve, because I cannot grieve, I hear the truth, but can't believe. 3 Where shall so great a sinner run? I see I'm ruin'd and undone; Dear Lord, in pity now draw near, And banish ev'ry rising fear. 4 Thy blood dear Lord, which thou hast spilt, Can make this rocky heart to melt; Thy blood can make me clean within-- Thy blood can pardon all my sin. 5 'Tis on the atonement of that blood, I now approach to thee, my God; This is my hope, this is my claim, Jesus has died and wash'd me clean. Scripture: Romans 7:15
