Inflicts but what my sins demand,
Inflicts but what my sins demand,
I speechless sat; nor plaintive word,
I speechless sat; nor plaintive word,
Nor murmur from my lips was heard.

But O, in thy appointed hour

The human form, however fair!
The human form, however fair!
How frail the strongest frame we see,
How frail the strongest frame we see,
If thou the sinner's fate decree!  
If thou the sinner's fate decree!


As when the fretting moths consume
As when the fretting moths consume
The labour of the curious loom,
The labour of the curious loom,
The texture fails, the dyes decay,
The texture fails, the dyes decay,
And all its lustre fades away.  
And all its lustre fades away.
Such, man, thy state! then humbled, own
Such, man, thy state! then humbled, own
That vanity and thou are one;
That vanity and thou are one;

Where, Lord, shall I my refuge see?
On whom repose my hope but thee?
O purge my guilt, nor let my foe,
Exulting, mock my heightened woe.
Convinced that thy paternal hand
Inflicts but what my sins demand,
I speechless sat; nor plaintive word,
Nor murmur from my lips was heard.

But O, in thy appointed hour
Withdraw thy rod; lest nature's pow'r,
While griefs on griefs my heart assail,
Unequal to the conflict, fail.
O how thy chastisements impair
The human form, however fair!
How frail the strongest frame we see,
If thou the sinner's fate decree!

As when the fretting moths consume
The labour of the curious loom,
The texture fails, the dyes decay,
And all its lustre fades away.
Such, man, thy state! then humbled, own
That vanity and thou are one;
Thyself, when in the balance weighed,
A nothing, and thy life a shade.
