Oh! give me Lord my sins to mourn

Hymnal: A Collection of Spiritual Songs and Hymns #XVI (1801) Lyrics: 1 Oh! give me Lord my sins to mourn, My sins which have thy body torn? Give me with broken heart to see Thy last tremendous agony! 2 O could I gain the mountain's height, And gaze upon that bleeding sight! O that, with Salem's daughters I Could stand and see my Saviour die! 3 I'd smite my breast, and weep and mourn, And never from the cross return: I'd weep o'er an expiring God, And mix my tears with Jesus's blood! 4 I'd hang around his cross, and cry "Lord save a soul condemn'd to die! "O let a wretch come near thy throne, "To plead the merits of thy son." 5 Father of mercy do not frown, But give me mercy in thy son; And with my broken heart comply O give me Jesus or I die! 6 O Lord deny me what thou wilt, If thou wouldst ease my soul from guilt Good Lord! I mercy hear my cry And give me Jesus or I die! 7 O save my soul from gaping hell, Or else with devils I must dwell: O might I enter, now I'm come! Lord Jesus save me or I'm gone! Languages: English
