93 Frozen Heart

Words: Joseph Hart, 1762

Music: Arr. E. J. King, 1844

Meter: Long Meter (8,8,8,8)

Lord, shed a beam of heav’nly day,
To melt this stubborn stone away;
And thaw, with rays of love divine,
This heart, this frozen heart of mine.

To hear the sorrows Thou hast felt,
All but an adamant would melt;
Goodness and wrath in vain combine
To move this stupid heart of mine.

But One can yet perform the deed;
That One in all His grace I need;
Thy Spirit can from dross refine
And melt this stubborn heart of mine.

Oh Breath of life, breathe on my soul!
On me let streams of mercy roll;
Now thaw with rays of love divine
This heart, this frozen heart of mine.
