Lyics

IS this the kind return,

Are these the thanks you owe?

Thus to abuse eternal love,

Whence all your blessings flow.



To what a stubborn frame

Has sin reduced your mind:

What strange rebellious mortals you,

And God so strangely kind!



Turn-turn them, mighty Lord,

And mould their souls afresh;

Break, grace divine, these hearts of stone,

And give them hearts of flesh.
