By A Collection of Hymns

      6-7s.
      1 SAVIOUR, Prince of Israel's race,
      See me from thy lofty throne;
      Give the sweet relenting grace,
      Soften this obdurate stone!
      Stone to flesh, O God, convert;
      Cast a look, and break my heart!

      2 By thy Spirit, Lord, reprove,
      All my inmost sins reveal,
      Sins against thy light and love
      Let me see, and let me feel;
      Sins that crucified my God,
      Spilt again thy precious blood.

      3 Jesu, seek thy wandering sheep,
      Make me restless to return;
      Bid me look on thee, and weep,
      Bitterly as Peter mourn,
      Till I say, by grace restored,
      "Now thou know'st I love thee, Lord!"

      4 Might I in thy sight appear,
      As the publican distrest,
      Stand, not daring to draw near,
      Smite on my unworthy breast,
      Groan the sinner's only plea,
      "God, be merciful to me!"

      5 O remember me for good,
      Passing through the mortal vale!
      Show me the atoning blood,
      When my strength and spirit fail;
      Give my gasping soul to see
      Jesus crucified for me!
