Compunction of heart if Jesus bestow

Verse 1
Compunction of heart If Jesus bestow,
And kindly impart The sorrowful woe,
Our dying condition If mercy reveals,
We seek a Physician Who penitents heals.

Verse 2
O what shall we do Who Jesus have slain,
Have murther’d anew That meek Son of man?
Of all we inquire, Till Christ from above,
The answer inspire, The sense of his love.
