Job 33:27, 28: O Thou whose pitying eye
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
O Thou whose pitying eye
Thy fallen creature sees.
Hear an afflicted sinner's cry,
Who now my sin confess:
Crush'd by its weight I am,
Its bitterness I feel,
And fill'd with fear, remorse, and shame,
Adjudge myself to hell.
Yet for Thy promise sake
Reverse my fearful doom.
And save me from that burning lake.
That endless wrath to come:
Made meet by hallowing grace,
O may I live to see
The glorious light of Jesu's face.
The God who died for me.
