Lord, When We Bend

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]
