Penitence and Hope

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #CXXXVII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Dear Saviour, when my thoughts recall Lyrics: 1 Dear Saviour, when my thoughts recall The wonders of thy grace, Low at thy feet asham'd I fall, And hide this wretched face. 2 Shall love like thine be thus repaid? Ah vile, ungrateful heart! By earth's low cares detain'd, betray'd, From Jesus to depar — 3 From Jesus, who alone can give True pleasure, peace and rest: When absent from my Lord, I live Unsatisfy'd, unblest. 4 But he, for his own mercy's sake, My wandering soul restores: He bids the mourning heart partake The pardon it implores. 5 O while I breathe to thee, my Lord, The penitential sigh, Confirm the kind, forgiving word, With pity in thine eye! 6 Then shall the mourner at thy feet Rejoice to seek thy face, And grateful own how kind, how sweet Thy condescending grace!
