38a. Amid Thy Wrath Remember Love

1 Amidst Thy wrath, remember love;
Restore Thy servant, LORD;
Nor let a Father’s chast'ning prove;
Like an avenger’s sword.

2 Thine arrows stick within my heart,
My flesh is sorely pressed;
Between the sorrow and the dart
my spirit finds no rest.

3 LORD, I am weak and broken sore,
None of my pow'rs are whole;
The inward anguish makes me roar,
The anguish of my soul.

4 All my desire to Thee is known,
Thine eye counts ev'ry tear,
And ev'ry sigh and ev'ry groan;
Is noticed by Thine ear.

5 Thou art my God, my only hope;
My God will hear my cry;
My God will bear my spirit up;
When Satan bids me die.

6 But I’ll confess my guilt to Thee,
And grieve for all my sin;
I’ll mourn how weak my graces be;
And beg support divine.

7 My God, forgive my follies past;
And be forever nigh;
O LORD of my salvation, haste;
Before Thy servant die.
