O Thou, who sees and knowst my grief

1 0 Thou that seest & knowest my grief,
Thyself unseen, unknown,
Pity and grant me quick relief,
And break my heart of stone.

2 Regard me with a gracious eye,
The long sought blessing give,
And bid me at the point to die,
Behold thy face and live.

3 A darker soul did never yet
Thy promised help implore;
O that I now my Lord might meet,
And never lose him more.

4 Now Jesus, now the Father's love
Shed in my heart abroad,
The middle wall of sin remove,
And let me in to God.
