Genesis: Grieved at His heart is God for me
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Grieved at His heart is God for me,
For sin which I have done?
And yet (alas, how can it be?)
And yet my heart is stone!
Wearied, and broke, and pierced, and torn,
My injured God and Friend,
Give me to look on Thee, and mourn,
Till grief with life shall end.
