THE PENITENT SINNER Behold , O God , in Rivers of my tears I come to thee , bow down thy blessed ears To bear me wretch , and let my eyes that sleep , Yet never close , behold a sinner weep .

Let not O God my God my faults though great And my poor soul bet w een thy Mercies Seat . Lord remember h y If thou be I co me not Lord wit h any o the r merit , Then wh at I in my S a viour Ch rist inherit : Be th en his wound s my birth his ri se my bliss , My Crown his th orns , my dea t h be lo st in his : And th ou my bles t Redeemer , Sa viour , God , Quit my ac co unt , with h old thy ve ngeance rod , O beg for me my h o pes on t hee are set , And Chri st forgi v e , and willing , pay t h e debt . The linn in towel I f thou wear , O y ee I know , O but to thee , O whether s hould I go ? All o t her helps a r e vain e grant then to me I am t hy cross , thy s aving hea l th must be : O hear k en then wh a t I by F aith implore , Lest S in and death sin k me for ever more , Lastly , O G od , my way e s direct a nd guide , In d each defe n d me that I n ever slide : And at the d om e let me be raise d then To liv e with the e sweet Jes us Christ , Amen .
