amos pilsbury - kedron lyrics

thou man of griefs, remember me
who never canst thyself forget
thy last mysterious agony
thy fainting pangs, and bl++dy sweat
when wrestling in the strength of prayer
thy spirit sunk beneath its load
thy feeble flesh abhorred to bear
the wrath of an almighty god

a taste of thy tormenting fears
if now thou dost to me impart
give the full virtue of thy tears
the cries which pierced thy father’s heart;
unite my sorrows to thine own
and let me to my god complain
who melted by thy spirit’s groan
can save me from that endless pain

father, if i may call thee so
regard my fearful heart’s desire
remove this load of guilty woe
nor let me in my sins expire:
i tremble, lest the wrath divine
which bruises now my wretched soul
should bruise this wretched soul of mine
long as eternal ages roll
to thee my last distress i bring:
the heightened fear of death i find;
the tyrant brandishing his sting
appears, and h+ll is close behind!
i deprecate that death alone
that endless banishment from thee:
o save, and give me to thy son
who trembled, wept, and bled for me

in jesus’ name and spirit i
as dying call, my god, my god
attend our strong united cry
and see me roll’d in jesus’ blood!
i arm me with his mortal pain
behind his wounds my soul i hide;
if thou canst slay thy son again
transfix me now — through jesus’ side!
