1 From the depths we cry to thee,
God of sov'reign majesty!
Hear our prayers and hymns of praise;
Bless our Lent of forty days.

2 Gracious God, our hearts renew;
Strengthen us thy will to do.
Wash us, make us pure within;
Cleanse us from the stain of sin.

3 Lord, accept our Lenten fast
And forgive our sinful past,
That we may partake with thee
in the Easter mystery.
