With tears of anguish I lament

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 147 hymnals Topics: Indwelling Sin lamented 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.

Come, praise him, all who fear the Lord, the children of his grace; with reverence sound his glories forth and bow before his face. 2 The burden of the sorrowful the Lord will not despise; he has not turned from those who mourn, he listens to their cries. His goodness makes me join the throng where saints his praise proclaim, and there will I fulfill my vows with those who fear his name. 3 He feeds with good the humble soul and satisfies the meek, and they shall live and praise the Lord who for his mercy seek. The ends of all the earth will hear, the nations seek the Lord; they worship him, the King of kings, in earth and heaven adored. Used With Tune: BOVINA Text Sources: Psalter, 1912
