1 O Lord, how sad's the case of Man, By reason of the Fall! His heart is hard, that nothing can, Alas, pierce it at all,
2 Until the time doth come when he God's power within does know; O then he doth, Lord, seek to thee, Not knowing what to do.
3 O happy Souls, who pierced have been, And broken thoroughly, In the true sight and sense of sin, And do on Christ rely.
3 O happy Souls, who pierc'd have been, And broken thoroughly, In the true sight and sense of sin, And do on Christ rely.
4 Such who are broken, thou wilt head, Who the Physician art, Thou wilt not cast off any such Who have a contrite heart.
