Verse 1
Arm of the Lord, whose vengeance laid
My sins upon my Saviour’s head,
In mercy now the sinner see,
And O destroy them all in me.
Verse 2
Accept all-gracious as thou art,
Accept a mournful sinner’s heart,
Who pour my tears before my God,
As a poor victim does its blood.
Verse 3
My feeble soul would fain aspire,
Its zeal and thoughts, and whole desire
Lift up to thee, through Jesu’s name,
As a burnt-sacrifice, its flame.
Verse 4
And since it cannot please alone,
Accept it, Father, thro’ thy Son;
Supported by his sacrifice,
O may it from his altar rise.
Verse 5
Cloath’d in his righteousness receive,
And bid me one with Jesus live,
Join all he sanctifies in one,
One cross, one glory, and one crown.
