Anne Bronte - Confidence

Lyrics

Oppressed with sin and woe A burdened heart I bear Opposed by many a mighty foe: But I will not despair With this polluted heart I dare to come to Thee Holy and mighty as Thou art; For Thou wilt pardon me I feel that I am weak And prone to every sin: But Thou who giv'st to those who seek Wilt give me strength within Far as this earth may be From yonder starry skies; Remoter still am I from Thee: Yet Thou wilt not despise I need not fear my foes I need not yield to care I need not sink beneath my woes: For Thou wilt answer prayer In my Redeemer's name I give myself to Thee; And all unworthy as I am My God will cherish me O make me wholly Thine! Thy love to me impart And let Thy holy spirit shine For ever on my heart!
