By A Collection of Hymns

      L.M. Hebrews v. 7, 8.
      1 THOU Man of griefs, remember me,
      Who never canst thyself forget!
      Thy last mysterious agony,
      Thy fainting pangs, and bloody sweat!

      2 When, wrestling in the strength of prayer,
      Thy spirit sunk beneath its load,
      Thy feeble flesh abhorred to bear
      The wrath of an almighty God.

      3 Father, if I may call thee so,
      Regard my fearful heart's desire,
      Remove this load of guilty woe,
      Nor let me in my sins expire!

      4 I tremble lest the wrath divine,
      Which bruises now my sinful soul,
      Should bruise this wretched soul of mine
      Long as eternal ages roll.

      5 To thee my last distress I bring,
      The heightened fear of death I find;
      The tyrant, brandishing his sting,
      Appears, and hell is close behind.

      6 I deprecate that death alone,
      That endless banishment from thee;
      O save, and give me to thy Son,
      Who trembled, wept, and bled for me!
