Be my Redeemer’s throne ;
And be my stubborn will subdued,
His government to own,
5 Let deep repentance, faith, and love,
Be joined with godly fear,
And all my conversation prove
My heart to be sincere.
6 Preserve me from the snares of sin,
Through my remaining days,
And in me let each virtue shine,
To my Redeemer’s praise.

Let warm affections rise,
And may I wait with strong desire
To mount above the skies.

O The Saviour’s pardoning love
Applied to cleanse my soul from guilt,
And bring me home to God.

His praises tuned my tongue,
And when the evening shades prevailed,
His love was all my song.
3 In prayer my soul drew near the Lord,
And saw his glory shine ;
And when I read his holy word,
I called each promise mine.
