HXXIII. O God most merciful and true

1 O God most merciful and true,
Thy nature to my soul impart;
’Stablish with me the cov'nant new,
And write perfection on my heart.

2 To real holiness restored,
O let me gain my Saviour’s mind;
And in the knowledge of my Lord
Fulness of life eternal find.

3 Remember, Lord, my sins no more,
That them I may no more forget;
But, sunk in guiltless shame, adore
With speechless wonder at thy feet.

4 O’erwhelmed with thy stupendous grace,
I shall not in thy presence move;
But breathe unutterable praise,
And rapturous awe, and silent love.

5 Then every murmuring thought and vain
Expires in sweet confusion lost:
I cannot of my cross complain,
I cannot of my goodness boast.

6 Pardon'd for all that I have done,
My mouth as in the dust I hide,
And glory give to God alone,
My God forever pacified!
