5 My heart is weary of its own deep sin—

Sinning, repenting, sinning still again;

When shall my soul thy glorious presence feel,

And find, dear Saviour, it is free from stain?

6 Patience, poor soul! the Saviour’s feet were worn;

The Saviour’s heart and hands were weary too;

His garments stained, and travel-worn, and old;

His vision blinded with a pitying dew.

7 Love thou the path of sorrow that he trod;

Toil on, and wait in patience for thy rest:
