OH, THE BITTER SHAME AND SORROW?
Lyrics: Theodore Monod?
Music: James Mountain
Oh, the bitter shame and sorrow,
? That a time could ever be,
When I let the Savior’s pity
Plead in vain, and proudly answered,
? All of self, and none of Thee,
? All of self and none of Thee.
Yet He found me; I beheld Him
? Bleeding on the cursed tree;
Heard Him pray, Forgive them, Father,
And my wistful heart said faintly,
? Some of self, and some of Thee,
? Some of self, and some of Thee.
Day by day His tender mercy,
? Healing, helping, full and free,
Sweet and strong, and ah! so patient,
Brought me lower while I whispered,
? Less of self, and more of Thee,
? Less of self, and more of Thee.
Higher than the highest heavens,
? Deeper than the deepest sea,
Lord, Thy love at last hath conquered;
Grant me now my heart’s petition,
? None of self, and all of Thee,
? None of self, and all of Thee.
