Savior, Now with Contrite Hearts

Savior

now with con­trite hearts

We ap­proach Thy throne of love;

Asking par­don for our sins

Peace and com­fort from ab­ove.

Thou didst suf­fer on the cross

To atone for sin­ners’ guilt;

May we nev­er

Lord

for­get

That for us Thy blood was spilt.

Now to Thee our­selves we bring

Cleanse us

Lord

we hum­bly pray;

Undeserving though we be

Draw us clos­er ev­ery day.

Thou our re­fuge art

and strength!

Keep

O keep us safe from harm

Shield us through the com­ing night

By Thine ev­er­last­ing arm.
