Hearts of stone, relent, relent

Appears in 218 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hearts of stone relent relent, Break, by Jesus cross subdu'd, See his body mangled, rent, Cover'd with a gore of blood, Sinful soul, what hast thou done? Murther'd God's eternal Son! 2 Yes our sins have done the deed, Drove the nails that fixt him here, Crown'd with thorns his sacred head, Pierc'd him with a soldier's spear, Made his soul a sacrifice: For a sinful world he dies. 3 Shall we let him die in vain? Still to death pursue our God? Open tear his wounds again, Trample on his precious blood? No; with all our sins we part – Saviour, take my broken heart.

See him hanging on a tree, A sight that breaks my heart! O that all to thee might turn! Sinners, ye may love him too, Look on him ye pierc'd, and mourn, For him who bled for you. 4 Weep o'er your desire and hope With tears of humblest love; Sing, for Jesus is gone up, And reigns enthron'd above; Lives our head to die no more Pow'r is all to Jesus given, Worship'd as he was before, Th' immortal King of heav'n.
