Lyrics: Isaac Watts
Tune: Abraham Wood
Meter: C.M.D. (8,6,8,6,8,6,8,6)

Oh, if my soul was form'd for woe,
How would I vent my sighs!
Repentance should like rivers flow
From both my streaming eyes.
'Twas for my sins my dearest Lord
Hung on the cursed tree,
And groan'd away a dying life
For thee, my soul, for thee.
