O Thou, My Soul, Forget No More (EN 1538)

EN 1538 O Thou, My Soul, Forget No More

Ps.103.2

Versi Version 1

1

O thou, my soul, forget no more

The Friend Who all thy misery bore;

Let every idol be forgot,

But, O my soul, forget Him not.

2

Jesus for thou a body takes,

Thy guilt assumes, thy fetters breaks,

Discharging all thy dreadful debt;

And canst thou e’er such love forget?

3

Renounce thy works and ways, with grief,

And fly to this most sure relief;

Nor Him forget, who left His throne,

And for thy life gave up His own.

4

Infinite truth and mercy shine,

In Him, and He Himself is thine:

And canst thou, then, with sin beset,

Such charms, such matchless charms, forget?

5

Ah! no—till life itself depart,

His Name shall cheer and warm my heart;

And lisping this, from earth I’ll rise;

And join the chorus of the skies.

6

Ah! no—when all things else expire,

And perish in the general fire,

This Name all others shall survive,

And through eternity shall live.
