Lyics

A 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 humbled in the dust,

And owns Thy dreadful sentence just;

Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye,

And save the soul condemn'd to die.



Then will I teach the world Thy ways;

Sinners shall learn Thy sov'reign grace;

I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood,

And they shall praise a pard'ning God,
