Stony Heart. Isa. 64. 1; Ezek. 11. 19; 36. 26

1 O for a glance of heavenly day,
  To take this stubborn stone away:
  And thaw, with beams of love divine,
  This heart, this frozen heart of mine!

2 [The rocks can rend, the earth can quake,
  The seas can roar, the mountains shake;
  Of feeling all things show some sign,
  But this unfeeling heart of mine.]

3 To hear the sorrows thou hast felt,
  Dear Lord, an adamant would melt;
  But I can read each moving line,
  And nothing move this heart of mine.

4 Thy judgments, too, unmoved I hear,
  (Amazing thought!) which devils fear;
  Goodness and wrath in vain combine
  To stir this stupid heart of mine.

5 But something yet can do the deed,
  And that dear something much I need;
  Thy Spirit can from dross refine,
  And move and melt this heart of mine.
