How cold my best affections are!

2'Tis sin, alas! with dreadful power,

Divides my Saviour from my sight;

O, for one happy, shining hour

Of sacred freedom, sweet delight!

3Come, gracious Lord; thy love can raise

My captive powers from sin and death,

And fill my heart and life with praise,

And tune my last, expiring breath.

330. C. M. Breviary.
