Prayer for Repentance.

OH, for that tenderness of heart, Which bows before the Lord! That owns how just and good thou art, And trembles at thy word!

Oh, for those humble, contrite tears Which from repentance flow! That sense of guilt, which trembling fears, The long-suspended blow!

Savior, to me in pity give For sin the deep distress, The pledge thou wilt at last receive, And bid me die in peace.

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