My heart, how dreadful hard it is!

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XCVIII (1766) Topics: Complaint of a Hard heart Lyrics: 1 My Heart, how dreadful hard it is! How heavy here it lies, Heavy and cold within my Breast, Just like a Rock of Ice! 2 Sin, like a raging Tyrant, sits Upon this flinty Throne, And ev'ry Grace lies bury'd deep Beneath this Heart of Stone. 3 How seldom do I rise to God, Or taste the Joys above? This Mountain presses down my Faith, And chills my flaming Love. 4 When smiling Mercy courts my Soul With all its heav'nly Charms, This stubborn, this relentless Thing Would thrust it from my Arms. 5 Against the Thunders of thy Word, Rebellious I have stood; My Heart! it shakes not at the Wrath And Terrors of a God. 6 Dear Saviour, steep this Rock of mine In thine own Crimson Sea! None but a Bath of Blood divine Can melt the Flint away. Languages: English
