And let my sprin­kled con­sci­ence know
Gave my re­pent­ant soul to prove
With dawn­ing glo­ries of the eter­nal day.
To Thy Son, who died to prove
I shall be­hold the face
Trinity sac­red, Uni­ty un­shak­en;
We shall ap­pear be­fore the throne
To plead for dy­ing souls that they may live,
Who know’st the weak­ness of our strength,
It shows to men the Fa­ther’s face,

for­giv­ing

Thy sweet for­giv­ing love.
Poured balm in­to my bleed­ing breast,
Through Je­sus Christ Thy co-eter­nal Word,
end
And stand com­plete in right­eous­ness,
Light of the an­gels, Life of the for­sak­en,
Dressed in the gar­ments of His Son,
Teach us to know the love which can for­give.
That we may seek Thy face at length.
And to the lost of Ad­am’s race
