235 ~ 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 weeping We lift our eyes to thee; And, all our sins subduing, Our Father, set us free!
3
O, shouldst thou from the fallen Withhold 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 spirit Upon thy loving breast, And givest all thy ransomed A sweet, unending rest.
