Seeking Deliverance and Rest

Thomas Moore • English

Primary Scripture: Ezekiel 16:6

Verse 1

Awaked from sin's delusive sleep, My heavy guilt I feel, and weep; Beneath a weight of woes oppressed, I come to thee, my Lord, for rest.

Verse 2

Now, from thy throne of grace above, Look down upon my soul in love; That smile shall sweeten all my pain, And make my soul rejoice again.

Verse 3

By thy divine, transforming power, My ruined nature now restore; And let my life and temper shine, In blest resemblance, Lord, to thine.
