Conviction for sin

Hymnal: The Minstrel of Zion #179a (1845) Meter: Irregular First Line: Why sinks my soul desponding Lyrics: 1 Why sinks my soul desponding Why fill my eyes with tears? While nature all surrounding, The smile of beauty wears. Why burden'd still with sorrow Is every labouring thought? Each vision that I borrow With gloom and sadness fraught? 2 The pleasures that deceived me, My soul no more can charm; Of rest they have bereaved me, And fill'd me with alarm; The objects I have cherish'd Are empty as the wind; My earthly joys have perish'd, What comfort shall I find? 3 If inward still inquiring, I turn my searching eye, Or upward now aspiring, I raise my feeble cry, No heavenly light is beaming To cheer my troubled breast, No ray of comfort gleaming To give my spirit rest. 4 My soul, from this dread anguish Is there no refuge nigh? 'Tis guilt that makes thee languish, And leaves thee thus to die: Renounce thy sin and folly Before the throne of grace, And make the Lord, most holy, Thy strength and righteousness.
