1 How mighty thou art, O Lord, to convert; Thou only couldst conquer so stubborn a heart, For thy love to lost man alone could constrain So stiff-necked a rebel to love thee again. 2 Through thee I embrace the ransoming grace, Of him who has suffered and died in my place, Though I strove to withstand the force of thy hand, Thy Spirit would conquer, and I was constrained. 3 In vain I withstood, and fled from my God, For mercy would save me through Jesus’s blood. I felt it applied, and I joyfully cried, Me, me thou hast loved, and for me thou hast died. 4 For sinners like me thy mercy is free, Who hunger and thirst for redemption by thee. Lord, gather in more; make this the glad hour; Compel them to yield in the day of thy power. | A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #197 (1844) |
