FORGIVE My Foes? It Cannot Be:
My Foes With Cordial Love Embrace?
Fast Bound In Sin And Misery,
Unsaved, Unchanged By Hallowing Grace,
Throughout My Fallen Soul I Feel
With Man This Is Impossible.

Great Searcher Of The Mazy Heart,
A Thought From Thee I Would Not Hide;
I Cannot Draw The Envenomed Dart,
Or Quench This Hell Of Wrath And Pride:
Jesus, Till I Thy Spirit Receive,
Thou Know’st, I Never Can Forgive.

Root Out The Wrath Thou Dost Restrain;
And When I Have My Saviour’s Mind,
I Cannot Render Pain For Pain,
I Cannot Speak A Word Unkind,
An Angry Thought I Cannot Know,
Or Count Mine Injurer My Foe.
