Hearts of Stone, Relent, Relent

Hearts of stone re­lent

re­lent!

Break

by Je­sus’ cross sub­dued;

See His body man­gled rent

Covered with His flow­ing blood;

Sinful soul! What hast thou done?

Crucified the eter­nal Son!

Yes

thy sins have done the deed

Driven the nails that fixed Him there

Crowned with thorns His sac­red head

Plunged Him with a sol­dier’s spear;

Made His soul a sac­rifice

For a sin­ful world He dies.

Wilt thou let Him die in vain?

Still to death pur­sue our God?

Open all His wounds again?

Trample on His pre­cious blood?

No; with all my sins I’ll part

Savior

take my brok­en heart!
