O How Shall A Sinner Perform
The Vows He Hath Vowed To The Lord?
A Sinful And Impotent Worm,
How Can I Be True To My Word?
I Tremble At What I Have Alone:
O Send Me Thy Help From Above;
The Power Of Thy Spirit Make Known,
The Virtue Of Jesus’s Love!
My Solemn Engagements Are Vain,
My Promises Empty As Air;
My Vows, I Shall Break Them Again,
And Plunge In Eternal Despair;
Unless My Omnipotent God
The Sense Of His Goodness Impart,
And Shed By His Spirit Abroad
The Love Of Himself In My Heart.
O Lover Of Sinners, Extend
To Me Thy Compassionate Grace;
Appear My Affliction To End,
Afford Me A Glimpse Of Thy Face!
That Light Shall Enkindle In Me
A Flame Of Reciprocal Love;
And Then I Shall Cleave Unto Thee,
And Then I Shall Never Remove.
O Come To A Mourner In Pain,
Thy Peace In My Conscience Reveal!
And Then I Shall Love Thee Again,
And Sing Of The Goodness I Feel:
Constrained By The Grace Of My Lord,
My Soul Shall In All Things Obey,
And Wait To Be Fully Restored,
And long to be summoned away.
