3 There's none can break our flinty Rock Besides thy self alone; Alas, our power is too weak To break such hearts of stone!
4 What can the Hammer do, O Lord, Thou the great Agent art; The Instrument, that is thy Word, O smite upon the heart,
5 And make it yield! and square it then For thy own blessed design; Thy Image on it, Lord, cut out Most holy and divine;
5 And make it yield! and square it then For thy own bless'd design; Thy Image on it, Lord, cut out Most holy and divine;
6 And fit it for thy building too, O set it in its place, And life infuse into it so That it may shine with Grace.
