And must we perish in despair? 4 See, we repent, we weep, we mourn-- To our forsaken God we turn! O spare our guilty country--spare The church which thou hast planted here. 5 We plead thy grace, indulgent God; We plead thy Son’s atoning blood; We plead thy gracious promises:-- And are they unavailing pleas? 6 These pleas, presented at thy throne, Have brought ten thousand blessings down On guilty lands in helpless woe:-- Let them prevail to save us too.
