Isaiah 58:5: A day for a man to afflict his soul
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
That true remorse, that grief Divine,
Saviour, I long to know:
Strike this hard rocky heart of mine,
And let the waters flow;
Indulge me at Thy feet to grieve
In exquisite distress,
Till Thou my mournful soul receive.
And bid me die in peace.
