Repentance and Faith

Repentance and Faith
}
A broken heart, my God, my King,
To Thee a sacrifice I bring;
The God of grace will ne'er despise
A broken heart for sacrifice.
My soul lies humbled in the dust,
And owns thy dreadful sentence just;
Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye,
And save the soul condemned to die.
Then will I tell the world thy ways;
Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace,
I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood,
And they shall praise a pardoning God.
O may thy love inspire my tongue!
Salvation shall be all my song,
And all my powers shall join to bless
The Lord, my strength and righteousness.
