We Know Thee Who Thou Art

We know Thee who Thou art

Lord Je­sus

Ma­ry’s son;

We know the yearn­ings of Thy heart

To end Thy work be­gun.

That sac­red fount of grace

’Mid all the bliss of Heav­en

Has joy when­e’er we seek Thy face

And kneel to be for­giv­en.

Brought home from ways per­verse

At peace Thine arms with­in

We pray Thee

shield us from the curse

Of fall­ing back to sin.

We dare not ask to live

Henceforth from tri­als free;

But oh! when next they tempt us

give

More strength to cling to Thee.

We know Thee who Thou art

Our own re­deem­ing Lord;

Be Thou by will

and mind

and heart

Accepted

loved

adored.
