Let me approach to thine abode,
In faith and love, with fear and joy;
Then prayer and praise to thee, my God,
Shall all my active powers employ.
I’ll humbly worship at thy throne,
And spend my sins and sorrows there;
Thou with regard the secret groan,
And wipe away the falling tear.
In thee I fix my steadfast hope,
When billows rise and tempests roar;
‘Tis thou canst bear my spirits up,
And former joys again restore.
