|
|
<p>Before Thy throne, O God, we kneel;<br>
|
|
Give us a conscience quick to feel,<br>
|
|
A ready mind to understand<br>
|
|
The meaning of Thy chastening hand;<br>
|
|
Whate’er the pain and shame may be,<br>
|
|
Bring us, O Father, nearer Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>Search out our hearts and make us true,<br>
|
|
Wishful to give to all their due;<br>
|
|
From love of pleasure, lust of gold,<br>
|
|
From sins which make the heart grow cold,<br>
|
|
Wean us and train us with Thy rod;<br>
|
|
Teach us to know our faults, O God.</p>
|
|
<p>For sins of heedless word and deed,<br>
|
|
For pride ambitious to succeed;<br>
|
|
For crafty trade and subtle snare<br>
|
|
To catch the simple unaware;<br>
|
|
For lives bereft of purpose high,<br>
|
|
Forgive, forgive, O Lord, we cry.</p>
|
|
<p>Let the fierce fires, which burn and try,<br>
|
|
Our inmost spirits purify:<br>
|
|
Consume the ill; purge out the shame;<br>
|
|
O God! be with us in the flame;<br>
|
|
A newborn people may we rise,<br>
|
|
More pure, more true, more nobly wise.</p>
