Prostrate before the sacred throne,
The humble suppliant lies ;
There makes his sins and sorrows known, .
And upward lifts his eyes.
No longer volatile and gay,
But inwardly distressed ;
Sighs following sighs, at once betray,
And ease the burdened breast.
Thus while the sinner owns his guilt,
His secret crimes reveals,
Faith views the blood that Jesus spilt,
And grace his pardon seals.
Our God a broken contrite heart
Accepts for sacrifice;
He sees and feels the sinner’s smart,
And hearkens to his cries.
