With conscious guilt and bleeding heart
Hymnal: A New Selection of Hymns; designed for the use of conference meetings, private circles, and congregations, as a supplement to Dr. Watts' Psalms and Hymns #8 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 With conscious guilt and bleeding heart,
Near to thy throne of grace I fly;
O! Friend of friendless sinners, deign
To hear my penitential cry.
2 Borne down with sin's tremendous load,
I cannot raise my soul to thee;
E'en when I would approach thy throne,
Through unbelief I'm kept away.
3 O! sov'reign, gracious, pow'rful God,
Compel my sins to quit their seat;
And cloth'd with Jesus' finish'd robe,
I'll dare approach my Savior's feet.
4 My first, my only cry shall be,
"Thy sanctifying grace impart,
And form my soul alike to thee,
And dwell forever in my heart."
5 Then, when I quit this vale of tears,
Uncloth'd with flesh my soul shall rise:
Adorn'd with ev'ry shining grace,
Shall reign with God above the skies. Languages: English

Oliver Holden
1765 - 1844 Author of "Penitential Prayer" Holden, Oliver, one of the pioneers of American psalmody, was born in 1765, and was brought up as a carpenter. Subsequently he became a teacher and music-seller. He died at Charlestown, Massachusetts, 1844. His published works are American Harmony, 1793; the Worcester Collection, 1797; and other Tune books. One of his most popular tunes is "Coronation." It is thought that he edited a small hymn-book, published at Boston before 1808, in which are 21 of his hymns with the signature "H." A single copy only of this book is known, and that is without title-page. Of his hymns the following are in common use:—
1. All those who seek a throne of grace. [God present where prayer is offered.] Was given in Peabody's Springfield Collection, 1835, No. 92, in a recast form as, “They who seek the throne of grace." This form is in extensive use in America, and is also in a few collections in Great Britain.
2. With conscious guilt, and bleeding heart. [Lent.] This, although one of the best of Holden's hymns, has passed out of use. It appeared, with two others, each bearing bis signature, in the Boston Collection (Baptist), 1808.
3. Within these doors assembled now. [Divine Worship.] [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]
