15 Teach us what Thy love has borne,
That with loving sorrow torn
Truly contrite we may mourn:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
16 Gifts of light and grace bestow,
Help us to resist the foe,
Fearing what alone is woe:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
17 Let not sin within us reign,
May we gladly suffer pain,
If it purge away our stain:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
18 May we to all evil die,
Fleshly longings crucify,
Fix our hearts and thoughts on high:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
19 Grant us faith to know Thee near,
Hail Thy grace, Thy judgment fear,
And through trial persevere:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
20 Grant us hope from earth to rise,
And to strain with eager eyes
Towards the promised heavenly prize:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
21 Grant us love thy love to own,
Love to live for Thee alone,
And the power of grace make known:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
22 All our weak endeavors bless,
As we ever onward press,
Till we prefect holiness:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
23 Lead us daily nearer Thee,
Till at last Thy face we see,
Crowned with Thine own purity:
We beseech Thee, hear us. Topics: Litany of Penitence; Parochial Missions; Penitence Used With Tune: [Teach us what Thy love has borne]
