Lord, how secure muy Conscience was

Appears in 129 hymnals Scripture: Romans 5:8-9 Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure my Conscience was, And felt no inward Dread! I was alive without the Law, And thought my Sins were dead. 2 My Hopes of Heav'n were firm and bright, But since the Precept came, With a convincing Pow'r and Light, I find how vile I am. [3 My Guilt appear'd but small before, Till terribly I saw How Perfect, Holy, Just, and Pure, Was thine eternal Law. 4 Then felt my Soul the heavy Load; My Sins reviv'd again I had provok'd a dreadful God, And all my Hopes were slain.] 5 I'm like a helpless Captive sold, Under the Pow'r of Sin; I cannot do the Good I would, Nor keep my Conscience clean. 6 My God, I cry with ev'ry Breath For some kind Pow'r to save, To break the Yoke of Sin and Death, And thus redeem the Slave.
