Ꮎ 3. Hearts of Stone. 1 HEARTS of stone, relent, relent, 2 Yes, our sins have done the deed, Drove the nails that fix'd him there; Crown'd with thorns his sacred head, Pierced him with a soldier's spear; Made his soul a sacrifice, For a sinful world he dies. 3 Will you let him die in vain, Still to death pursue your Lord; 4. Bartimeus. 1 "MERCY, O thou son of David!" Thus the blind Bartimeus pray'd; "Others by thy word are saved, Now to me afford thine aid." 2 Many for his crying chid him, 3 Money was not what he wanted, 4"Lord, remove this grievous blindness, Let my eyes behold the day!" Straight he saw, and won by kindness, Follow'd Jesus in the way. 5 Now, methinks, I hear him praising, Friends, is not my case amazing? 6"Oh! that all the blind but knew him, And would be advised by me! Surely they would hasten to him, He would cause them all to see." |
