HYMN XXIII. The Pressure of Sin

O THAT my Load of Sin were gone O that I could at last submit, At Jesu's Feet to lay it down, To lay my Soul at Jesu's Feet!

When shall mine Eyes behold the Lamb? The God of my Salvation see! Weary, O Lord, thou know'st I am, Yet still I cannot come to thee.

Rest for my Soul, I long to find; Saviour, if mine indeed thou art, Give me thy meek and lowly Mind, And stamp thine Image on my Heart.

I would, but thou must give the Power; My Heart from ev'ry Sin release; Bring near, bring near the happy Hour, And fill me with thy heav'nly Peace.

Come, Lord, the drooping Sinner chear, Let not my Jesus long delay; Appear, in my poor Heart appear; My God my Saviour, come away.
