A sinful man am I,
therefore I come to thee;
to thee the Holy and the Just,
that thou mayst pity me.
Wert thou not holy, Lord,
why should I come to thee?
It is thy holiness that makes
thee, Lord, so meet for me.
Wert thou not gracious, Lord,
I must in dread depart;
it is the riches of thy grace
that win and draw my heart.
Wert thou not righteous, Lord,
I dare not come to thee;
it is a righteous pardon, Lord,
alone that suiteth me.
Our God is love, – we come;
our God is light, – we stay;
abiding ever in his word,
and walking in his way.
Mercy and truth are his,
unchanging faithfulness;
the cross is all our boast and trust,
and Jesus is our peace.
We give thee glory, Lord,
thy majesty adore;
thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
we bless for evermore.
