3 For all our hearts, Lord, naturally So hard and stony are, Till softened with thy blood, we see They can't thy Image bear.
3 For all our hearts, Lord, naturally So hard and stony are, Till softned with thy blood, we see They can't thy Image bear.
4 Nought will dissolve the Adamant And flinty heart we know, But precious blood which from thy wounds Most plenteously did flow.
5 But such who never sick were made, Or did their sickness see, Are never like thy help to have, Nor cure find of thee.
6 Thou first does make us see our sin, And then when we do cry, Thy Oil and Wine thou dost put in, Which heals us presently.
