I.

Shew me O GOD how stands the case
Between the Saviour and my heart;
If I had known thy saving grace,
How could my soul so far desert?

II.

'Tis true I once thought I believ'd,
And had a crumb of living bread;
But if my soul was not deceiv'd
Why is my hopes and comforts fled?

III.

If Jesus had redeem'd my soul,
And I had known that he was mine,
How could this world so soon have stole
My heart away from joys divine?

IV.

I've seen the time I did rejoice,
And thought I felt a heav'nly flame,
But if that was the Saviour's voice,
How could I get this stupid frame?

V.

If I have the Redeemer known,
O may the truth now set me free,
And if he is my help alone
I cannot rest till him I see.
