O THOU, from whom all goodness flows, In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes, 2 When guilt lies heavy on my heart, My pardon seal, and peace impart- 3 Let not the errors of my youth, In mercy free, in grace and truth, 4 From sin's defilement in my soul, To save, to cleanse, and make me whole, Dear Lord, remember me. 5 Temptations strong beset my way; Give strength according to my day— 6 If for my love to thy dear name, I'll hail reproach, and welcome shame, 7 When I draw near the gates of death, Dear Saviour, with my dying breath, COME, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Bring back the heavenly blessing, lost 2 Thy favour and thy nature too, 3 Eternal Sun of Righteousness, 4 Light, in thy light, O may I see, Thy grace and mercy prove; Revived, and cheer'd, and bless'd by thee, 5 Lift up thy countenance serene, 6 That all comprising peace bestow 223.
