GRH 288 Blessed by Reflection

(1)
During these days
I’ve failed God a fresh;
Always sinning,
Yielding to the flesh.
If not arrogant,
Jealousy attacks.
None as good as I;
Talk behind their backs.

(2)
While I’m at church,
Dozing I sit there;
Singing no hymns,
Not sincere in prayer.
Do not read God’s Word;
Listen, do not hear.
Must look at myself,
See how I appear.

(3)
From this day on,
My heart’s zeal I’ll prove.
All must be changed,
Sin’s roots to remove.
God delights in me,
Christ bestows His grace,
Now the Spirit fills,
To God be all praise.
