Methodist-Hymns-296
1: HOLY Spirit! pity me,
Pierced with grief for grieving Thee;
Present, though I mourn apart,
Listen to a wailing heart.
2: Sins unnumbered I confess,
Of exceeding sinfulness;
Sins against Thyself alone,
Only to Omniscience known;:
3: Deafness to Thy whispered calls,
Rashness midst remembered falls,
Transient fears beneath the rod,
Treacherous trifling with my God;
4: Tasting that the Lord is good,
Pining then for poisoned food;
At the fountains of the skies
Craving creaturely supplies;
5: Worldly cares at worship-time;
Grovelling aims in works sublime;
Pride, when God is passing by;
Sloth, when souls in darkness die;
6: Chilled devotions, changed desires,
Quenched corruption’s earlier fires:
Sins like these my heart deceive,
Thee, who only know’st them, grieve.
7: O how lightly have I slept
With Thy daily wrongs unwept,
Sought Thy chidings to defer,
Shunned the wounded Comforter:
8: Woke to holy labours fresh
With the plague-spot in my flesh;
Angel seemed to human sight,
Stood a leper in Thy light.
9: Still Thy comforts do not fail,
Still Thy healing aids avail;
Patient inmate of my breast,
Thou art grieved, yet I am blest.
10: O be merciful to me,
Now in bitterness for Thee.
Father, pardon through Thy Son
Sins against Thy Spirit done. Amen.
