The Breaking Crucible, and Other Translations of German Hymns
Hymns, German -- Translations into English
Yes, O my God! sins that so vastly rise,
Leave to thy greatness but the choice of woes,
Thy throne’s high interest my bliss denies,
And mercy’s self stands watching for my throes.
Sate thy revenge, for this thy glory cries,
Scorn thou the tears which overflow mine eyes,
Launch lightnings, ’tis high time, I war invoke,
And, doomed, I worship, sinking in the flood;
Yet on what spot shall fall thy thunderstroke,
Not wholly covered with my Saviour’s blood?
