To Thee, O Gracious Lord, We Sing

To Thee

O gra­cious Lord

we sing

To Thee in faith we pray

And all our sins to Thee we bring;

Lord

wash them all away.

We glo­ry in Thy bound­less love

We tri­umph by Thy grace;

When shall we come to Heav’n ab­ove

To see Thee face to face?

This bar­ren wil­der­ness is long

O

be Thou with us

Lord

And by Thy Spir­it make us strong

And guide us by Thy Word.

Thy ho­ly love

O spread abroad

In these soiled hearts of ours

That we may con­se­crate to God

Our bo­dies and our pow­ers.

When comes the time to fall asleep

Thou Morn­ing Star

we pray

Conduct us safe across the deep

In Thy own bless­èd way.
