Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #268 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Hymns, Selected and Original Lyrics: 1 Smote by thy law, I'm justly slain; Great God, behold my case; Pity a sinner fill'd with pain, Nor drive me from thy face. 2 Dread terrors fright my guilty soul-- Thy justice, all in flames, Gives sentence on this heart so foul, So hard, so full of crimes. 3 'Tis trembling hardness that I feel; I fear, but don't relent,-- Perhaps of endless death the seal: Oh, that I could repent! 4 My pray'rs, my tears, my vows are vile; My duties black with guilt; On such a wretch can mercy smile, Tho' Jesus' blood was spilt? 5 Speechless I sink to endless night, I see an opening hell: But lo! what glory strikes my sight! Such glory who can tell! 6 Enwrapt in these bright beams of peace, I feel a gracious God: Swell, swell the note: Oh, tell his grace; Sound his high praise abroad!
