Bowed low in supplication,
we come, O Lord, to thee;
thy grace alone can save us;
to thee alone we flee.
We come for this our parish
thy mercy to implore;
on church and homes and people,
O Lord, thy blessing pour.
Blot out our sins, O Father;
forgive the guilty past;
loose from their chains the captives
whom Satan holdeth fast.
Wake up the slumbering conscience
to listen to thy call;
the weak and wavering strengthen,
and raise up them that fall.
O be thy house, Lord, hallowed,
and hallowed be thy day;
let sin-stained souls find pardon,
and learn to love and pray.
With heavenly food supported,
O be they firm and strong
to follow all things holy,
to flee from all things wrong.
Lord, banish strife and variance;
knit sundered hearts in one;
and bind us all together
in love to thy dear Son.
O Father, bless our parish,
that all may grow in grace,
and love thee daily better,
until we see thy face.
