Representative Text

1. Lord, when we bend before thy throne,
And our confessions pour,
Teach us to feel the sins we own,
And hate what we deplore.

Refrain:
Have mercy, have mercy,
Have mercy, have mercy.

2. Our broken spirits, pitying see;
True penitence impart;
And let a kindling glance from thee
Light hope within the heart. [Refrain]

3. When we disclose our wants in prayer,
May we our wills resign;
And not a thought our hearts will share
That is not wholly thine. [Refrain]
