Text:	We Stand in Deep Repentance
Author:	Ray Palmer, D.D.
Tune:	DOVER
Composer:	Joseph Martine

1 We stand in deep repentance,
Before Thy throne of love;
O God of grace, forgive us;
The stain of guilt remove;
Behold us, while with weeping
We lift our eyes to Thee;
And all our sins subduing,
Our Father, set us free!

2 Oh, shouldst Thou from us fallen
Withhold Thy grace to guide,
Forever we should wander
From Thee, and peace, aside;
But Thou to spirits contrite
Dost light and life impart,
That man may learn to serve Thee
With thankful, joyous heart.

3 Our souls—on Thee we cast them,
Our only refuge Thou!
Thy cheering words revive us,
When pressed with grief we bow;
Thou bear’st the trusting spirit
Upon Thy loving breast,
And givest all Thy ransomed
A sweet, unending rest.
