Verse 1
Giver of unfeign’d repentance,
Unto us thy blessing give,
That we may the mortal sentence
In our guilty selves receive;
Sensible of our demerit,
May from every sin depart,
Offering up a troubled spirit,
Rend’ring thee a broken heart.

Verse 2
From the evils which surround us
That we may this moment fly,
By a stroke of mercy wound us,
By thy kind upbraiding eye:
Out of thine obdurate creature
Thou the stony heart remove;
Cast the look that vanquish’d Peter,
Melt us down by dying love.

Verse 3
Let thy dying love constrain us
Our ingratitude to mourn,
Let thine unknown anguish pain us,
’Till the wanderers return;
Fill our souls with sacred trouble,
Give us bitterly to weep,
All our burthens, Lord, redouble,
Sink us in the lowest deep.

Verse 4
From the pit of condemnation
When to thee for help we cry,
Visit us with thy salvation,
Shew the open fountain nigh;
Shew thyself our bleeding Jesus,
All our sufferings to remove,
With thy pard’ning mercy bless us,
Bless us with thy perfect love.
