Giver of the Perfect Gift

Giver of the per­fect gift!

Only hope of hu­man race!

Hear the pray­er our hearts up­lift

Trembling at Thy throne of grace.

Though the ac­cus­ing voice with­in

Speaks of ma­ny a wrong to Thee

Thou canst cleanse from ev­ery sin

Thou canst set the con­sci­ence free.

Who can save us

Lord

but Thou?

Let Thy mer­cy show Thy pow­er;

Lo

we plead Thy pro­mise now

Now

in this ac­cept­ed hour.

Oh! may these our Lent­en days

Blest by Thee

with Thee be passed

That with pur­er

nob­ler praise

We may keep Thy feast at last.

God the ho­ly Tri­ni­ty

Grant the mer­cy we im­plore;

God the One

all praise to Thee

Through the ages ev­er­more!
