The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#448

448. O for that tenderness of heart

1 O for that tenderness of heart
That bows before the Lord;
That owns how just and good thou art,
And trembles at thy word!

2 O for those humble, contrite tears
Which from repentance flow;
That sense of guilt which, trembling, fears
The long-suspended blow!

3 O, fill my soul with faith and love,
And strength to do thy will;
Raise my desires and hopes above,
Thyself to me reveal.
