The mighty God will not despise

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns, from Various Authors, Supplementary for the Use of Christians. 1st ed. #CXIV (1816) Lyrics: 1 The mighty God will not despise The contrite heart for sacrifice; The deep fetch'd sigh, the secret groan Rises accepted to the throne. 2 He meets, with tokens of his grace, The trembling lip, the blushing face; His bowels yearn, when sinners pray, And mercy bears their sins away. 3 When fill'd with grief, o'erwhelm'd with shame, He, pitying, heals their broken frame; He hears their sad complaints, and spies His image in their weeping eyes. 4 Thus, what a rapturous joy possest The tender parents throbbing breast, To see his spendthrift son return, And hear him his past follies mourn!
