With tears of anguish I lament

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #259 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 With tears of anguish I lament, Here at thy feet, my God, My passion, pride, and discontent, And vile ingratitude. 2 Sure there was ne'er a heart so base, So false as mine has been; So faithless to its promises, So prone to every sin! 3 My reason tells me thy commands Are holy, just, and true; Tells me whate'er my God demands Is his most righteous due. 4 Reason I hear, her counsels weigh, And all her words approve; But still i find it hard t'obey, And harder yet to love. 5 How long, dear Saviour, shall I feel These strugglings in my breast? When wilt thou bow my stubborn will, And give my conscience rest? 6 Break, sov'reign grace, O break the charm, And set the captive free: Reveal, Almighty God, thine arm, And haste to rescue me.
