[O that we could to God present]
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that, &c.
—iii. 19, 20.
O that we could to God present
Our hearts by true contrition rent
Through His beloved Son;
To Christ our mighty Fortress turn,
Look upon Him we pierced and mourn,
Till our Desire come down!
Our hearts by true contrition rent
Through His beloved Son;
To Christ our mighty Fortress turn,
Look upon Him we pierced and mourn,
Till our Desire come down!
Jesus through Thy atoning blood
Blot out this thick, incumbent cloud,
Which hides the face of Heaven;
Thou art that Presence of the Lord:
Descend, Divine Eternal Word,
And speak our sins forgiven.

Descend, Divine Eternal Word,
And speak our sins forgiven.
Whene'er Thou dost our crimes efface,
The times of sweet refreshing grace,
The Comforter is come,
The Pledge, the Witness, and the Seal,
That God again on earth shall dwell
And take His exiles home.
