Saviour, Prince, enthroned above

1

Saviour, Prince, enthroned above,Repentance to impart,Give me, through thy dying love,The humble, contrite heart;Give, what I have long implored,A portion of thy grief unknown;Turn, and look upon me, Lord,And break my heart of stone.

2

For thine own compassion's sake,The gracious wonder show;Cast my sins behind thy back,And wash me white as snow:If thy pity now is stirred,If now I do myself bemoan,Turn, and look upon me, Lord,And break my heart of stone.

3

See me, Saviour, from above,Nor suffer me to die!Life, and happiness, and love,Drop from thy gracious eye:Speak the reconciling word,And let thy mercy melt me down;Turn, and look upon me, Lord,And break my heart of stone.

4

Clothe me with thy holiness,Thy meek humility;Put on me thy glorious dress—Endue my soul with thee:Let thine image be restored,Thy name and nature let me prove;Fill me with thy fullness, Lord,And perfect me in love.
