Lyics

Jesus, let thy pitying eye

Call back a wand'ring sheep;

False to thee, like Peter, I

Would fain like Peter weep.

Let me be by grace restored;

On me be all long-suff'ring shown;

Turn, and look upon me, Lord,

And break my heart of stone.



Saviour, Prince, enthroned above,

Repentance to impart,

Give me, through thy dying love,

The humble, contrite heart.

Give what I have long implored,

A portion of thy grief unknown:

Turn, and look upon me, Lord,

And break my heart of stone.
