O for That Tenderness of Heart

1O for that tenderness of heart,
That bows before the Lord!
That owns how just and good thou art,
And trembles at thy word!

2O for those humble, contrite tears
Which from repentance flow;
That sense of guilt which, trembling, fears
The long-suspended blow!

3O, fill my soul with faith and love,
And strength to do thy will;
Raise my desires and hopes above,—
Thyself to reveal.
