Penitential Sighs

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CCLXX (1792) First Line: Father, at thy call I come Lyrics: 1 Father, at thy call I come; In thy bosom there is room For a guilty soul to hide, Press'd with grief on every side. 2 Here I'll make my piteous moan; Thou canst understand a groan: Here my sins, and sorrows tell; What I feel thou knowest well. 3 Ah! how foolish I have been, To obey the voice of sin, To forget thy love to me, And to break my vows to thee. 4 Darkness fills my trembling soul, Floods of sorrow o'er me roll: Pity, Father pity, me; All my hope's alone in thee. 5 But may such a wretch as I, Self-condemn'd and doom'd to die, Ever hope to be forgiven, And be smil'd upon by heaven? 6 May I round thee cling and twine, Call myself a child of thine, And presume to claim a part In a tender Father's heart? 7 Yes, I may, for I espy Pity trickling from thine eye: 'Tis a father's bowels move, Move with pardon, and with love. 8 Well I do remember too What his love hath deign'd to do; How he sent a savior down, All my Follies to atone. 9 Has my elder Brother died? And is justice satisfied? Why,O why should I despair Of my father's tender care? Topics: Graces of the Spirit Repentance; Penitent sighs Languages: English

Pity from thine eye let fall; Bless me, whilst on thee I call; Am I thine thou Son of God? Take the purchase of thy blood. 6 Father, see the victim slain, Offer'd up for guilty man; Hear his blood's prevailing cry; Let the bowels then reply: Then thro' him the sinner see; Then, in Jesus, look on me.
