##(Verse 1)
While o'er our guilty land, O Lord, We view the terrors of Your sword, O where can all the helpless fly? To whom but You direct their cry?

##(Verse 2)
On You, our guardian God, we call; Before Your throne of grace we fall; But is there no deliv'rance there? And must we perish in despair?

##(Verse 3)
See, we repent, we weep, we mourn; To our forsaken God we turn; O spare our guilty country, spare The Church which You have planted there.

##(Verse 4)
We are the old, the sick, the lame; We blind and deaf cry Jesus' Name. We plead Your mercy for His sake, And trust that You will not forsake.

##(Verse 5)
Christ is our only righteousness, His death for us is our redress. Your promise stronger than our sin; Blot out O Lord what we have been.

##(Verse 6)
We are your children after all,
Redeemed by Christ after the fall.
Marked with Your Name in Baptism,
Our home remains in Your Kingdom.
