From thy temple in the skies
Hear thy people's supplications,
Now for their deliverance rise.
2 Though our sins, our hearts confounding,
Long and loud upon thee call,
Thou has mercy more abounding,
Jesus' blood can cleanse them all.
3 Let that love veil our transgression;
Let that blood our guilt efface;
Save thy people from oppression,
Save from spoil thy holy place.
4 Lo! with deep contrition turning,
Humbly at thy feet we bend;
Hear us, fasting, praying, mourning,—
Hear us, spare us, and defend. Topics: Occasional Languages: English
Pardon implored for National Sins
