Author: J. D. Carlyle, 1758-1804 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #431 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Lord, when we bend before Thy throne,
And our confessions pour,
Teach us to feel the sins we own,
And hate what we deplore.
2 Our broken spirits, pitying, see,
And penitence impart;
And let a kindling glance from Thee
Beam hope upon the heart.
3 When we disclose our wants in prayer,
May we our wills resign,
And not a thought our bosom share
That is not wholly Thine.
4 May faith each weak petition fill,
And waft it to the skies;
And teach our hearts 'tis goodness still
That grants it, or denies. Topics: Prayer For Sincerity; Prayer For Sincerity; The Christian Life Aspiration and Prayer; Will Of God; Penitence; Sincerity Of Purpose Languages: English Tune Title: HOLY TRINITY
