[Verse 1]
D G
I want a princi-ple within
D
Of watchful, Godly fear,
G
A sensibili-ty of sin,
D A7 D
A pain to feel it near.
A G D
I want the first app-proach to feel
A E A E7 A
Of pride of wrong de - sire,
D
To catch the wandering of my will,
A D
And quench the kin-dling fire.

[Verse 2]
D G
From Thee that I no more may stray,
D
No more Thy goodness grieve,
G
Grant me the finial awe, I pray,
D A7 D
The tender con-science give.
A G D
Quick as the apple of an eye,
A E A E7 A
O God, my con-science make;
G
Awake my soul when sin is nigh,
D A7 D
And keep it still a - wake.

[Verse 3]
D G
Al-mighty God of truth and love,
D
To me Thy power im-part;
G
The mountain from my soul remove,
D A7 D
The hardness from my heart.
D A G D
O may the least o-mis-sion pain
A E A E7 A
My re-a-wak-end soul,
G
And drive me to that blood again,
D A7 D
Which makes the wound-ed whole.
