O Lord My Soul Convicted

Verse 1

O Lord,
my soul convicted stands Of breaking all Thy ten commands:
And on me justly might'st Thou pour Thy wrath in one eternal show'r.

Verse 2

But thanks to God,
its loud alarms Have warn'd me of approaching harms;
And now, O Lord,
my wants I see, Lost and undone,

I come to Thee.

Verse 3

I know my fig leaf righteousness Can ne'er Thy broken law redress;
Yet in the gospel plan I see,
There's hope of pardon e'en for me.

Verse 4

There, I behold with wonder, Lord!
That Christ hath to Thy law restor'd Those honors on th'atoning day,
Which guilty sinners took away.

Verse 5

Amazing wisdom, pow'r and love,
Display'd to rebels from above! Do Thou,
O Lord,
my faith increase To love and trust Thy plan of grace.
