¶Lyrics / Text

Lift up to heav'n sad wretch thy heavy sprite, What though thy sins thy due destruction threat? The Lord exceeds in mercy as in might; His ruth is greater though thy crimes be great. Remorse for all that truly mourn hath place; Not God, but men of him themselves deprive: With cheerful voice to him then cry for grace, Thy faith, and fainting hope, with prayer revive; Strive then, and he will help; call him, he'll hear; The son needs not the father's fury fear. Repentance needs not fear the heav'ns' just rod, It stays ev'n thunder in the hand of God.
