Galatians 6:9

• [Gal 6:9] O Thou Who Dost To Man Accord

  O Thou Who dost to man accord His highest prize, his best reward, Thou Hope of all our race; Jesu, to Thee we now draw near, Our earnest supplications hear, Who humbly seek Thy face. With self accusing voice within, Our conscience tells of many a sin In thought, and word, and deed: O cleanse that conscience from all stain, The penitent restore again, From every burthen freed. If Thou reject us, who shall give Our fainting spirits strength to live? ’Tis Thine alone to spare; With cleansèd hearts to pray aright, And find acceptance in Thy sight, Be this our lowly prayer. ’This Thou has blest this solemn fast; So may its days by us be passed In self control severe, That, when our Easter morn we hail Its mystic feast we may not fail To keep with conscience clear. O blessèd Trinity, bestow Thy pardoning grace on us below, And shield us evermore; Until, within Thy courts above, We see Thy face, and sing Thy love, And with Thy saints adore.
