1 Oh! that my burdened soul Could sweet relief obtain; Give Jesus all my heart's control And cease to suffer pain.
2 I long to find the way That leads from sin and death, And when 'tis found, I hope to stay Till my expiring breath.
3 I pant for living streams That flow from Calvary's fount; My thirsty soul will die, it seems Or scale redemption's mount.
4 O Jesus, stretch Thy hand, And rescue my poor soul; And bid me rise at Thy command, And all my thought control.
5 Unchain my captive soul From sin's devouring cell; O fill my heart with joy untold– Let peace within me dwell.
AMEN.Source: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal: official hymnal of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church #510
