VI.
[Return'd into Thy kingdom, Lord]
Return'd into Thy kingdom, Lord,
For good remember me,
And tell a penitent restored,
I soon shall be with Thee.
For good remember me,
And tell a penitent restored,
I soon shall be with Thee.
The offering of a broken heart
Thou never wilt despise,
But while my soul and body part
Accept the sacrifice.
Thou never wilt despise,
But while my soul and body part
Accept the sacrifice.
My spirit humbly I commend
To Thy redeeming care,
My last important moments spend
In penitence and prayer.
To Thy redeeming care,
My last important moments spend
In penitence and prayer.
And if I may not testify
On earth my sins forgiven,
Yet, I, the poorest outcast I,
May praise Thy love in heaven.
On earth my sins forgiven,
Yet, I, the poorest outcast I,
May praise Thy love in heaven.
