The Heart Healed And Changed By Mercy.
Sin enslaved me many years, And led me bound and blind; Till at length a thousand fears Came swarming oer my mind. Where, I said, in deep distress, Will these sinful pleasures end? How shall I secure my peace, And make the Lord my friend? Friends and ministers said much The gospel to enforce; But my blindness still was such, I chose a legal course: Much I fasted, watchd, and strove, Scarce would show my face abroad, Feard almost to speak or move, A stranger still to God. Thus afraid to trust his grace, Long time did I rebel; Till, despairing of my case, Down at his feet I fell: Then my stubborn heart he broke, And subdued me to his sway; By a simple word he spoke, Thy sins are done away.
