Hymnal: A Choice Collection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs #XI (1774) Lyrics: 1 Weary of struggling with my Pain,
Hopeless to burst my nature's Chain:
Hardly I give the Contest o'er,
I seek to free myself no more.
2 From my own Works at last I cease,
God that creates must seal my Peace;
Fruitless my Toil and vain my Care,
And all my Fitness is Despair.
3 Lord I despair myself to heal,
I see my Sin but cannot feel;
I cannot, till my Spirit blow,
And bid th' obedient Waters flow.
4 'Tis thine a Heart of flesh to give,
Thy Gifts I only can receive;
Here then to thee I all resign,
To draw, redeem, and seal is thine.
5 With simple Truth to thee I call,
My Light, my Life, my Lord, my all:
I wait the moving of the Pool,
I wait the Word that speaks me whole.
6 Speak, gracious Lord, my Sickness cure,
Make my infected Nature pure;
Peace, Righteousness, and Joy impart,
And pour thyself into my Heart. Languages: English
Weary of struggling with my Pain
