Burden of Guilt

Verse 1

Lord, with a griev'd and aching heart, To thee I look— to thee I cry; Supply my wants, and ease my smart, O help me soon, or else I die.

Verse 2

Here on my soul the burden lies, No human power can it remove; My numerous sins like mountains rise, Do thou reveal thy pardoning love.

Verse 3

Break off these adamantine chains, From cruel bondage set me free; Rescue from everlasting pains, And bring me safe to heaven and thee.
