FORGIVE us, for thy mercy's sake, Our multitude of sins forgive! And for thy own possession take, And bid us to thy glory live; Live in thy sight, and gladly prove Our faith by our obedient love.

The covenant of forgiveness seal, And all thy mighty wonders show! Our inbred enemies expel; And conquering them to conquer go, Till all of pride and wrath be slain, And not one evil thought remain!

O put it in our inward parts, The living law of perfect love! Write the new precept in our hearts: We shall not then from thee remove, Who in thy glorious image shine, Thy people, and for ever thine.
