The Sinner's Self-Reflection

Hymnal: A Choice Collection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs #III (1774) First Line: Ah Lord! ah Lord! what have I done! Lyrics: 1 Ah Lord! ah Lord! what have I done! What will become of me? What shall I say, what shall I do? Or whither shall I flee? 2 By wand'ring I have lost my self, And here I make my moan: O whither, whither have I stray'd! Ah, Lord! what have I done? 3 Thy Candle searches all my Rooms, And now I plainly see; The num'rous Sins of Earth and Hell Are summed up in me. 4 The Seeds of all the Ills that grow, Are in my Garden sown, And Multitudes of them are sprung; Ah, Lord! what have I done! 5 I have been Satan's willing Slave, And his most easy prey; He was not readier to command Than I was to obey: 6 Or, if at Times he left my Soul, Yet still his Work went on: I was a Tempter to my self; Ah, Lord! what have I done! 7 I puft at all the Threats of Heaven, And slighted all its Charms: Nor Satan's Fetters would I leave For Christ's inviting Arms. 8 I had a Soul but priz'd it not; And now my Soul is gone; My forced Cries do pierce the Skies; Ah, Lord! what have I done!
