Representative Text

1 Hear us, Father, while we pray;
Humbly we our need confess;
Pardon all our sins today;
May Thy love each heart possess!

2 Grant us, Lord, Thy grace divine,
Help us live for Thee alway;
May our wills be lost in Thine,
As we own Thy righteous sway.

3 We are weak, but Thou art strong—
Give us of Thy mighty pow’r;
Keep us free from sin and wrong—
Give us wisdom for each hour.

4 We would ever work for Thee
Till our course on earth is run;
Then with unveiled eyes we’ll see
All the glory of Thy Son.
