By A Collection of Hymns

      C.M.
      1 COME, O thou all-victorious Lord!
      Thy power to us make known;
      Strike with the hammer of thy word,
      And break these hearts of stone.

      2 O that we all might now begin
      Our foolishness to mourn;
      And turn at once from every sin,
      And to our Saviour turn!

      3 Give us ourselves and thee to know,
      In this our gracious day;
      Repentance unto life bestow,
      And take our sins away.

      4 Conclude us first in unbelief,
      And freely then release;
      Fill every soul with sacred grief,
      And then with sacred peace.

      5 Impoverish, Lord, and then relieve,
      And then enrich the poor;
      The knowledge of our sickness give,
      The knowledge of our cure.

      6 That blessed sense of guilt impart,
      And then remove the load;
      Trouble, and wash the troubled heart
      In the atoning blood.

      7 Our desperate state through sin declare,
      And speak our sins forgiven;
      By perfect holiness prepare,
      And take us up to heaven.
