463. We stand in deep repentance

1 We stand in deep repentance,
Before thy throne of love;
O God of grace, forgive us,
The stain of guilt remove.

2 Behold us while with weeping
We lift our eyes to thee;
And all our sins subduing,
Our Father, set us free!

3 O, shouldst thou from the fallen
Withhold thy grace to guide,
Forever we should wander,
From thee, and peace, aside.

4 Our souls on thee we cast them,
Our only refuge thou!
Thy cheering words revive us,
When pressed with grief we bow.

5 Thou bearest the trusting spirit
Upon thy loving breast,
And givest all thy ransomed
A sweet, unending rest.
