Lyrics

Deepen the wound thy hands have made (Deut. 32:39, Job 5:18, Hosea 6:1, Heb. 12:6)
In this weak helpless soul,
’Till mercy with its balmy aid
Descend to make me whole,
The sharpness of thy two-edg’d sword (Heb. 4:12, Eph. 6:17, Rev. 1:16, Rev. 2:12)
Enable me t’ endure,
’Till bold to cry “My hallowing Lord (I Thess. 5:23)
Hath wrought a perfect cure!” (Ex. 15:26, Ps. 103:3)
