When thou hear est, Forgive!
image of young girl
praying on her knees
God of pity, God of grace,
When we humbly seek Thy face,
Bend from heaven Thy dwelling place,
Hear, forgive, and save.
When we in Thy temple meet,
Spread our wants before Thy feet,
Pleading at the mercy-seat:
Look from heaven, and save.
Should we wander from Thy fold,
And our love to Thee grow cold,
With a pitying eye behold,
Lord, forgive, and save.
Should the hand of sorrow press,
Earthly care and want distress,
May our souls Thy peace possess:
Jesus, hear and save.
When Thy love our hearts shall fill,
And we long to do Thy will,
Turning to Thy holy hill:
Lord, accept and save.
And whate'er our cry may be,
When we lift our hearts to Thee,
From our burden set us free:
Jesus, hear and save.
