I Seem Desirous To Repent,
But Cannot Without Thee
Soften This Hard Heart, Or Lament
My Own Obduracy;
Gladly I Would Thy Word Believe,
My Dear Redeemer Know,
But Neither Can Rejoice, Nor Grieve,
Till Thou The Power Bestow.
I Would More Sensibly Distressed,
Throughout This Evil Day
Struggle To Utter My Request.
But Cannot, Cannot Pray,
Until The Spirit From On High
His Needful Aid Impart,
And Raise A Supplicating Cry
Within My Broken Heart.
My Want Of Thankfulness, And Love,
And Every Grace, I Own,
Nor Will The Mountains Ever Remove
Till Thou, My God, Come Down;
Till Thou Thine Own Desires Fulfil,
Thyself To Sinners Join,
And Kindly Work In Me To Will
And Do The Will Divine.
