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; Open tear his wounds again, Trample on his precious blood? No! with all my sins I'll part, Savior, take my broken heart. 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, But he call'd the louder still; Till the gracious Savior bid him, 66 Come, and ask me what you will.” 3 Money was not what he wanted, 4 "Lord, remove this grievous blindness, 5 Now, methinks, I hear him praising, Publishing to all around; "Friends, is not my case amazing? What a Savior I have found! 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." |
