Hymnal: A Choice Collection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs #XXIII (1774) Hymnal Title: A Choice Collection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs First Line: O that my Load of Sin were gone Lyrics: 1 O that my Load of Sin were gone
O that I could at last submit,
At Jesu's Feet to lay it down,
To lay my Soul at Jesu's Feet!
2 When shall mine Eyes behold the Lamb?
The God of my Salvation see!
Weary, O Lord, thou know'st I am,
Yet still I cannot come to thee.
3 Rest for my Soul, I long to find;
Saviour, if mine indeed thou art,
Give me thy meek and lowly Mind,
And stamp thine Image on my Heart.
4 I would, but thou must give the Power;
My Heart from ev'ry Sin release;
Bring near, bring near the happy Hour,
And fill me with thy heav'nly Peace.
5 Come, Lord, the drooping Sinner chear,
Let not my Jesus long delay;
Appear, in my poor Heart, appear;
My God my Savior, come away.
