CONVICTION AND CONVERSION.
A soul that fain would see his face,
To perish at his feet.
162 L. M.
Humble ideadings under conviction.
1 | ORD, with a grieved and aching lieatt
To thee I look, to thee I cry ;
Supply my wants and ease iny smart,
O help me soon, or else I die !
2 Here on my soul a burden lies,
No human power can it remove;
My numerous sins like mountains rise ;
Do thou reveal thy pardoning love.
3 Break off these adamantine chains,
From cruel bondage set me free ;
Rescue from everlasting pains,
And bring me safe to heaven and thee,
163 L. M.
The same,
1 DEHOLD a sinner, dearest Lord,
LO Encouraged by thy gracious word,
Would venture near to seek that bread,
By which thy children here are fed.
2 Do not the humble suit deny,
Of such a guilty wretch as I ;
But let me feed on crumbs, though small
Which from thy bounteous table fall.
3 I am a sinner, Lord, I own,
By sin and guilt I am undone ;
Vet will I wait, and plead, and pray.
Since none are empty sent away.
