Hymnal: Songs of Zion #47 (1821) Meter: 7.7 Lyrics: 1. Come, my soul, and let us try For a little season, Every burden to lay by; Come, and let us reason. What is this that casts thee down? Who are they that grieve you? Speak, and let the worst be known; Speaking may relieve you. 2. Christ by faith sometimes I see,Then it doth relieve me;But my sins return againThose are they that grieve me;Troubled like the restless sea, Feeble, faint, and fearful:Plunged in sins, a sore disease, How can I be cheerful?3.

Suffering all the wrath of God, Groaning, gasping, dying! Tune Title: SYMPATHY
Come, my soul, and let us try
