Father, behold with gracious eyes
The soul before thy throne,
|: Who now present their sacrifice, :|
Well pleased in him thyself declare,
Thy pardoning love reveal,
|: The peaceful answer of our prayer :|
To every conscience seal.
Meanest of all thy servants, I
Those happier spirits meet,
|: And mix with theirs my feeble cry, :|
And worship at thy feet.
On me, on all, some gift bestow,
Some blessing now impart
|: The seed of life eternal sow :|
In every mournful heart.
Thy loving, powerful Spirit shed,
And speak our sins forgiven,
|: Or haste throughout the lump to spread :|
The sanctifying leaven.
Refresh us with a ceaseless shower
Of graces from above,
|: Till all receive the perfect power :|
Of everlasting love.
