O God most merciful and true,
Thy nature to my soul impart;
’Stablish with me the cov'nant new,
And write perfection on my heart.

To real holiness restored,
O let me gain my Saviour’s mind;
And in the knowledge of my Lord
Fulness of life eternal find.

Remember, Lord, my sins no more,
That them I may no more forget;
But, sunk in guiltless shame, adore
With speechless wonder at thy feet.
