Sweet Sav­ior! in Thy pi­ty­ing grace
Thy sweet­ness to our souls im­part;
Thou on­ly Lov­er of our race
Give heal­ing to the wound­ed heart;
Oh! hear Thy con­trite ser­vants’ cry,
And save us, Je­su! lest we die.

Long-suf­fer­ing Je­su! hear our pray­er
Who weep be­fore Thee in our shame;
We have no hope but Thee; O spare,
Lord, spare us from th’un­dy­ing flame;
Oh! hear Thy con­trite ser­vants’ cry,
And save us, Je­su! lest we die.

All we have brok­en Thy com­mand;
Lord, help us for Thy mer­cies’ sake;
Deliver us from Sa­tan’s hand,
And safe­ly to Thy king­dom take;
Oh! hear Thy con­trite ser­vants’ cry,
And save us, Je­su! lest we die.

We flee for re­fuge to Thy love,
Salvation of the help­less soul;
Pour down Thy ra­di­ance from above,
And make these sin-worn spir­its whole:
Oh! hear Thy con­trite ser­vants’ cry,
And save us, Je­su! lest we die.
