All our desires are known;
And we are that which we appear
To Thee, good Lord, alone.

No eye of man can penetrate,
Another's secret mind,
Nor well discern his own estate,
Naked, and poor, and blind.
|

Let it so shine within,
That each may tremble at the sight
Of his unbosom'd sin.

Till hope spring out of grief,
And,cry with tears, "Lord, I believe,
Help Thou mine unbelief."

To young, to old, to all,
And raise Thy banish'd ones above
The misery of their fall.
|
|
As sinners to Thy house we came:
As saints may we depart,
In humbler, holier, happier frame
Of soul, and mind, and heart.
