Beatrice 443

Tune: I. A. Hill
Alto: Mrs. Anna L. (Cooper) Blackshear, 1902
Lyrics: Isaac Watts
Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)
O that I knew the secret place
Where I might find my God!
I'd spread my wants before His face,
And pour my woes abroad.

I'd tell Him how my sins arise,
What sorrows I sustain;
How grace decays and comfort dies,
And leaves my heart in pain.
