See, Gracious God, Before Thy Throne

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9516 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 See, gracious God, before Thy throne Thy mourning people bend! ’Tis on Thy sovereign grace alone, Our humble hopes depend. 2 Tremendous judgments from Thy hand, Thy dreadful power display: Yet mercy spares this guilty land, And yet we live to pray. 3 Great God, and why this nation spare, Ungrateful as we are? O be these awful warnings heard, While mercy cries, Forebear. 4 What numerous crimes increasing rise, Where Satan shows his smile? What land so favored of the skies, And yet what land so vile? 5 How changed, alas! are truths divine, For error, guilt and shame! What impious numbers, bold in sin, Disgrace the Christian name! 6 O bid us turn, almighty Lord, By Thy resistless grace; Then shall our hearts obey Thy word, And humble seek Thy face. 7 Then should insulting foes invade, We shall not sink in fear; Secure of never failing aid, If God, our God, is near.
