O for that tenderness of heart

1

O for that tenderness of heartThat bows before the Lord;That owns how just and good thou art,And trembles at thy word!

2

O for those humble, contrite tearsWhich from repentance flow;That sense of guilt which, trembling, fearsThe long-suspended blow!

3

O, fill my soul with faith and love,And strength to do thy will;Raise my desires and hopes above,—Thyself to me reveal.
