A broken heart, my God, my King
Isaac Watts • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 34:18
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
Then will I teach the world Thy ways; Sinners shall learn Thy sovereign grace; I'll lead them to my Savior's blood, And they shall praise a pardoning God.
Verse 4
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. Amen.
