I 'm looking for the name of this hymn and any other lyrics. It was quoted to a sermon by C. H. Spurgeon. The sermon was possibly his title or re-titled: Death of my Best Friend. The words quoted in the sermon are as follows
"...Twas you, MY SINS, my cruel sins, His chief tormentors were; each of my crimes became a nail, and unbelief the spear."

each of my crimes became a nail, and unbelief the spear.

It is from a hymn by Sir Isaac Watts. See http://www.puritansermons.com/poetry/watts03.htm
