Savior, When in Dust to Thee

1 Father, when in love to Thee
Low we bow the adoring knee,
When repentant to the skies
Scarcely do we lift our eyes.
Then, O hear us as we plead
For Thy help in time of need;
Bending from Thy throne on high,
Hear, forgive us when we cry.

2 We repent the times we've stood
For the things of lesser good,
And for stewardship of time
We have spent unlinked with Thine,
In the midst of sin and strife,
Teach us how to live a life
Marked by graces of new birth,
Worthy of Thy saints on earth.

3 Father, while we look to Thee,
Lowly on the bended knee,
And in penitence we turn,
For Thy pardon now we yearn.
Reconcile us by Thy love;
Lift our souls to things above;
As we humbly now draw nigh,
Hear, forgive us when we cry.

Amen.
