A stony heart lamented.
1 I ORD, hear a burdened sinner mourn,
k-* Who gladly would to thee return ;
Thy tender mercies O impart,
And take away this stony heart,
2 ’Tis this hard heart that, sinks me down,
Nor asks thy smile, nor fears thy frown;
This causes all my woe and smart;
Lord, take away this stony heart.
3 ’Tis this hard heart, my gracious Lord,
Which scorns thy love and slights thy word:
Which tempts me from thee to depart,
Lord, take away this stony heart.
4 ’Tis this hard heart, which, day by day,
Would shut my mouth, nor let me pray;
Yea, would from every duty start;
Lord, take away this stony heart.
5 Sure the blest day will shortly come,
When this hard heart shall know its doom ;
When I no more shall sin retain,
Nor of a stony heart complain.

o' To melt this stubborn stone away;
And thaw, with beams of love divine,
This heart, this frozen heart of mine.
2 The rocks can rend, the earth can quake,
The seas can roar, the mountains shake ;
