My sin is great, my strength is weak,
My path be­set with snares;
But Thou, O Christ, hast died for me,
And Thou wilt hear my pray­ers.

Refrain

To Thee, to Thee, the Cru­ci­fied,
The sin­ner’s on­ly plea,
Relying on Thy pro­mised grace,
My faith still clings to Thee.

The world is dark with­out Thee, Lord,
I turn me from its strife
To find Thy love a sweet re­lief;
Thou art the light of life.

Refrain

Temptations lure and fears as­sail
My frail, in­con­stant heart;
But pre­cious are Thy pro­mis­es,
And they new strength im­part.

Refrain

Unfold Thy pre­cepts to my mind,
And cleanse my blind­ed eyes;
Grant me to work for Thee on earth,
Then praise Thee in the skies.
