I Want A Principle Within
Of Watchful, Godly Fear,
A Sensibility Of Sin,
A Pain To Feel It Near.
I Want The First Approach To Feel
Of Pride Or Wrong Desire,
To Catch The Wandering Of My Will,
And Quench The Kindling Fire.
From Thee That I No More May Stray,
No More Thy Goodness Grieve,
Grant Me The Filial Awe, I Pray,
The Tender Conscience Give.
Quick As The Apple Of An Eye,
O God, My Conscience Make;
Awake My Soul When Sin Is Nigh,
And Keep It Still Awake.
Almighty God Of Truth And Love,
To Me Thy Power Impart;
The Mountain From My Soul Remove,
The Hardness From My Heart.
O May The Least Omission Pain
My Reawakened Soul,
And Drive Me To That Blood Again,
Which Makes The Wounded Whole.
