Now is the healing time decreed
For sins of heart
of word or deed
When we in humble fear record
The wrong that we have done the Lord.
Who
always merciful and good
Has borne so long our wayward mood
Nor cut us off unsparingly
In our so great iniquity.
Therefore with fasting and with prayer
Our secret sorrow we declare;
With all good striving seek His face
And lowly hearted plead for grace.
Cleanse us
O Lord
from every stain
Help us the meed of praise to gain
Till with the angels linked in love
Joyful we tread Thy courts above.
Father and Son and Spirit blest
To Thee be every prayer addressed
Who art in threefold name adored
From age to age
the only Lord.
