Lord of cre­ation, bow Thine ear,
O Christ, to hear
The in­ter­ces­sion of Thy
Servant true and dear,
That we un­wor­thy, who have
Trespassed in Thy sight,
May live be­fore Thee where he dwells
In glo­ri­ous light.

O God our Sav­ior, look on Thine
Inheritance,
Sealed by the fa­vor shin­ing
From Thy coun­te­nance;
That no false spir­it bring to naught
The souls of price
Bought by the mer­it of Thy
Perfect sac­ri­fice.

We bear the bur­den of
Our guilt and en­mi­ty,
Until Thy par­don lift the heart
From sla­ve­ry;
Then through the spend­ing
Of Thy life blood,
King of grace,
Grant us un­end­ing tri­umph
In Thy ho­ly place.

To Thee the glo­ri­ous Christ,
Our Sav­ior ma­ni­fest,
All wreaths vic­to­ri­ous,
Praise and wor­ship
Be ad­dressed,
Whom with the liv­ing Fa­ther
Humbly we adore,
And the life giv­ing Spir­it,
God for­ev­er­more.
