LyicsSee, gracious God, before thy throne
Thy mourning people bend;
'Tis on thy sovereign grace alone
Our humble hopes depend.
Dark, frowning judgments from thy hand
Thy dreadful powers display;
Yet mercy spares this guilty land,
And still we live to pray.
O, turn us, turn us, mighty Lord,
By thy convincing grace;
Then shall our hearts obey thy word,
And humbly seek thy face.
