Changeableness. Gal. 5. 17; John 3. 6

1 Lord, I freely would confess,
  I am all unrighteousness;
  Base and vile, from head to feet;
  Full of pride and self-conceit.

2 [When thy presence I enjoy,
  I can say, My God is nigh;
  And with holy wonder tell,
  Thou, dear Lord, dost all things well.]

3 When deliverance thou hast wrought,
  I can of thy wonders talk,
  And too often proudly say,
  Nothing more shall me dismay.

4 [When, by faith, I view my Lord,
  Bathed in agonies and blood,
  I with joy his love repeat,
  Sink to nothing at his feet.]

5 But, alas! how soon I stand
  At a distance, unconcerned;
  And the trifles of a day
  Almost carry me away.

6 Lord, with shame and grief I own,
  I to evil still am prone;
  Vile and base I am indeed;
  When from sin shall I be freed?

7 Make me strong and steadfast too;
  Help me all thy will to do;
  And with patience may I wait,
  Ever knocking at thy gate.
