Ev’n now my tempted spirit faints,
But calls thy days of flesh to mind:
Remember thou thine own complaints,
And let my prayer acceptance find;
Jesus, my tears, and feeble cries
Unite and mingle with thine own,
So shall my wailing pierce the skies,
And bring the Spirit from thy throne.
Even now my tempted spirit faints
