Forgive Us, For Thy Mercy’s Sake,
Our Multitude Of Sins Forgive!
And For Thy Own Possession Take,
And Bid Us To Thy Glory Live;
Live In Thy Sight, And Gladly Prove
Our Faith By Our Obedient Love.
The Covenant Of Forgiveness Seal,
And All Thy Mighty Wonders Show!
Our Inbred Enemies Expel;
And Conquering Them To Conquer Go,
Till All Of Pride And Wrath Be Slain,
And Not One Evil Thought Remain!
O Put It In Our Inward Parts,
The Living Law Of Perfect Love!
Write The New Precept In Our Hearts:
We Shall Not Then From Thee Remove,
Who In Thy Glorious Image Shine,
Thy People, And For Ever Thine.
