Don’t let my heart be hardened,
But then You touch me
In his natural life,
Oh, hold me quiet there;
Thy soldier who would follow Thee.
So Thy Spir­it shall des­cend,
A search in His Word found my hardened
Sheds on our path the glow of day;
Void of offense, keep my conscience so pure.
But still ne­glect Thy gra­cious Word;
Give the sweet re­lent­ing grace,
Cleanse Thou ev­ery sor­did place
I shall serve Thee as I ought:
I shall serve Thee as I ought:
He des­cends, like show­ers in spring-time,
Melt our spir­its, mold our will,
Of all which is most blessed.
So effortless! I only need to call.
You touched my hardened heart
Lord Jesus, grow in us.

Soften

Jesus Christ is the Spirit
Recover my heart,
in his will,
And for Thy will prepare.
From easy choices, weakenings,
And its sweet­est in­flu­ence lend,
And earth’s vanities faded.
Cheers the long watches of the night.
end
By calls un­heed­ed, vows de­layed.
Stone to flesh, O God, con­vert;
Heal the wounds I feel with­in;
Love will lighten every care,
Love will lighten every care,
While the smit­ten Rock its tor­rents
Blessèd Tri­ni­ty, be near,
To take from You what’s best.
To cling to You and to receive Your Word.
I saw Your shining face.
You know the source from which we came.
