I
am
a
great
com
-
plain
-
er,
that
bears
the
name
of
Christ;
Come,
all
ye
Zi
-
on
mourn-ers,
and
list
-
en
to
my
cries
2.
I
wish
it
was
with
me
now,
as
in
the
days
of
old,
When
the
glorious
light
of
Je
-
sus
was
flow
-
ing
in
my
soul,
3.
It
is
great
pride
and
pas
-
sion
be
-
set
me
on
my
way,
So
I
am
filled
with
fol
-
ly,
and
so
neg
-
lect
to
pray;
I've
ma
-
ny
sore
temp
-
ta
-
tions,
and
sor
-
rows
to
my
soul;
I
feel
my
faith
de
-
clin
-
ing,
and
my
af
-
fec-tions
cold.
But
now
I
am
dis-tressed,
and
no
re
-
lief
can
find,
With
a
hard,
de
-
ceit
-
ful
heart,
and
a
wretch-ed,
wan-d'ring
mind.
I am
so
weak
I
stum
-
ble,
and
so
I'm
left
be
-
hind,
While
oth - ers
run
re
-
joic
-
ing,
and
seem
to
loose
no
time.
This
tune
was
composed
by
William
Walker
of
Spartanburg
S.
C.,
about
1835
for
the
"Southern
Harmony,"
see page
18.
It
is
also
published
in
the
"Christian
Harmony"
by
same
author,
page
236.
No
trace
can
be
found
in
any
of
the
recent
hymn
books
of
the
words,
nor
of
the
older
hymn
books
at
our
command.
It
may
be
that
Mr.
Walker
compiled
the
words
himself.
He
has
composed
several
valuable
hymns.

other
sketch
of
Walker
under
other
tunes.
