1. We stand in deep repentance Before Thy throne of love; O God of grace, forgive us, The stain of guilt remove; Behold us while with weeping We lift our eyes to Thee, And, all our sins subduing, Our Father, set us free. 2. O shouldst Thou from us sinners Withhold Thy grace to guide, Forever we should wander From Thee, and peace, aside; But Thou to spirits contrite Dost light and life impart, That man may learn to serve Thee With thankful, joyous heart. 3. Our souls--on Thee we cast them, Our only refuge Thou! Thy cheering words revive us, When pressed with grief we bow; Thou bear'st the trusting spirit Upon Thy loving breast, And givest all The ransomed A sweet, unending rest.
