Is this the kind return

1

Is this the kind return,Are these the thanks we owe,Thus to abuse eternal love,Whence all our blessings flow?

2

To what a stubborn frameHas sin reduced our mind!What strange rebellious wretches we,And God as strangely kind!

3

Turn, turn us, mighty God,And mold our souls afresh;Break, sovereign grace, these hearts of stone,And give us hearts of flesh.
