1. I want a principle within Of watchful, godly fear, A sensibility of sin, A pain to feel it near. Help me the first approach to feel Of pride or wrong desire; To catch the wandering of my will, And quench the kindling fire. |
2. From Thee that I no more may stray, No more Thy goodness grieve, Grant me the filial awe, I pray, The tender conscience give. Quick as the apple of an eye, O God, my conscience make! Awake my soul when sin is nigh, And keep it still awake. |

3. Almighty God of truth and love, To me Thy power impart; The burden from my soul remove, The hardness from my heart. O may the least omission Pain my reawakened soul, And drive me to that grace again, Which makes the wounded whole. |
