1. I set myself against the Lord, | |||
Despised his spirit and his word, | |||
And wished to take his place; | |||
It vexed me so, that I must die, | |||
And perish too, eternally, | |||
Or else be saved by grace. | |||
2. Of every preacher I'd complain; | |||
One spoke thro' pride, and one for gain | |||
Another's learning small; | |||
One spoke too fast, and one too slow; | |||
One prayed too loud, and one too low; | |||
Another had no call. | |||
3. Some walk too straight to make a show, | |||
While others far too crooked go; | |||
And both of these I scorn; | |||
Some odd, fantastic motion* make; | |||
Some stoop too low, some stand too straight- | |||
No one is faultless born. | |||
''' | 4. With no professor I could join; | ||
Some dressed too mean, and some too fine, | |||
And some would talk too long; | |||
Some had a tone, some had no gift; | |||
One talked too slow, and one too swift; | |||
And all of them were wrong.}} | |||

5. I thought they'd better keep at home, | |||
Than to exhort where'er they come, | |||
And tell us of their joys;. | |||
They'd better keep their gardens free | |||
From weeds, than to examine me, | |||
And vex me with their noise. | |||
6. Kindred and neighbors, too, were bad, | |||
{{ | And no true friend was to be had; | ||
My rulers, too, were vile; | |||
At length, I was reduced to see | |||
The fault did mostly lie in me, | |||
And had done all the while. | |||
7. The horrid load of guilt and shame, | |||
The inward consciousness of blame | |||
Did wound my frighted soul | |||
I've sinned so much against the Lord, | |||
Despised his goodness and his word, | |||
How can I be made whole ? | |||
8. "Why, there is balm in Gilead, | |||
And a physician may be had, | |||
And balsam too most free; | |||
Only believe on God's dear son, | |||
Through him the victory is won: | |||
Christ Jesus died for thee."}} | |||

9. O, Christ's free love, a boundless sea! | |||
What! to expire for such as me? | |||
"Yes, 'tis a truth divine." | |||
My heart did melt, my soul o'er-run | |||
With love, to see what God had done | |||
For souls so vile as mine. | |||
10. Now, I can hear a child proclaim | |||
The joyful news, and bless the name | |||
Of Jesus Christ, my king; | |||
I scorn no sect—the saints are one; | |||
With my complaints I now have done. | |||
And God's free grace I sing.}} | |||
