Savior, listen to our prayer,
Poor and sinful though we are;
Guilt confessing, give Thy blessing,
Grant Thy loving care.
Refrain
O God our Father, Christ our king,
Now to Thee our hearts we bring;
Keep them ever, blessèd Savior,
Till in Heav’n we sing.
Strength is Thine; we often stray
From the pure and holy way;
While Thou guide us, walk beside us,
Nearer every day!
Refrain
Then may we, when life is o’er,
Stand with Thee on yonder shore;
Freed from sinning, Heaven winning,
Praising evermore.
