1 Lord, we have broke Thy holy laws,
And slighted all Thy grace;
And justly Thy vindictive wrath
Might cast us from Thy face.
2 Yet while such precedents appear
Marked in Thy sacred Book,
We from these depths of guilt and fear
Will to Thy temple look.
3 To Thee, in our Redeemer’s name,
We raise our humble cries;
May these our prayers, perfumed by Him,
Like grateful incense rise.
4 O never may our hopeless eyes
An absent God deplore,
Where the dear temples of Thy love
Shall stand revealed no more.
5 Far from those regions of despair
Appoint our souls a place;
Where not a frown thro’ endless years
Shall veil Thy lovely face.
