My heart may faint with fears, But God my strength appears, And will to endless years My portion be. 4 O it is good that I May still to God draw nigh, As oft before; The Lord Jehovah blest, My refuge and my rest, Shall be in praise confessed For evermore.

Lord, when we bend before Thy throne

Author: J. D. Carlyle, 1758-1804 Appears in 331 hymnals Topics: Prayer For Sincerity; Prayer For Sincerity; The Christian Life Aspiration and Prayer; Will Of God; Penitence; Sincerity Of Purpose 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.
