We stand in deep repentance
1
We stand in deep repentance,Before thy throne of love;O God of grace, forgive us,The stain of guilt remove.
2
Behold us while with weepingWe lift our eyes to thee;And all our sins subduing,Our Father, set us free!
3
O, shouldst thou from the fallenWithhold thy grace to guide,Forever we should wander,From thee, and peace, aside.
4
Our souls—on thee we cast them,Our only refuge thou!Thy cheering words revive us,When pressed with grief we bow.
5
Thou bearest the trusting spiritUpon thy loving breast,And givest all thy ransomedA sweet, unending rest.
