Psalm 51:17: Jesus, giver of contrition
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Jesus, giver of contrition,
Giver Thou of pardon art:
Wound me, O my kind Physician,
Break, and then bind up my heart:
Who a broken-hearted sinner
Never, never wilt despise.
Cast me down, my faith's Beginner,
Lift me up to Paradise.
