“Physician of our sin-sick soul,

To thee we bring our case;

Our raging malady control,

And heal us by thy grace.

Pity the anguish we endure,

See how we mourn & pine;

For never can we hope a cure

From any hand but thine. Lord,

We are sick, regard our cry,

And set our spirit free:

Say, canst thou let a sinner die,

Who longs to live to thee?”

John Newton
