LyicsA BROKEN heart, my God, my King,
Is all the sacrifice I bring;
The god of grace will ne'er despise
A broken heart for sacrifice.
My soul lies humble in the dust,
And owns thy dreadful sentence just;
Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye,
And save the soul condemned to die.
Then will I teach the world thy ways;
Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace;
I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood,
And they shall praise a pardoning God.
