LyicsFrom the recesses of a lowly spirit,
Our humble prayer ascends; O Father hear it,
Upsoaring on the wings of awe and meekness;
For-give its weakness.
We see thy hand; it leads us, it supports us;
We hear thy voice; it counsels and it courts us;
And then we turn away; and still thy kindness
For-gives its blindness.
O, how long suffering, Lord, but thou delightest
To win with love the wandering; thou invitest,
By smiles of mercy, not by frowns or terrors,
Man from his errors.
Father and Savior, plant with in each bosom
The seeds of holiness, and bid them blossom
In fragrance and in beauty bright and vernal,
And spring eternal.
