214 Repentance

Words: Isaac Watts, 1707

Music: Rollo, 1796

Meter: Common Meter Double (8,6,8,6,8,6,8,6)

Oh, if my soul was formed for woe,
How would I vent my sighs!
Repentance should like rivers flow
From both my streaming eyes.
’Twas for my sins my dearest Lord
Hung on that cursed tree,
And groaned away His dying life
For thee, my soul, for thee.
