To thee, my God, my heavenly king,
I would ascend with rapid wing;
Before thy mercy seat appear,
And spread my sins and sorrows there.
I at thy feet will humbly bow,
Nor can a sinner lie too low;
Thine all sufficient grace implore,
And trust thy faithfulness and power.
In all my wants, amidst my woes,
The slights of friends and rage of foes,
I’ll seek for refuge bear thy throne,
Till thou shalt pour salvation down.
Mercy and truth to thee belong,
In weakness thou canst make me strong;
Nor need I any evil fear,
Whilst I can pray, and thou wilt hear.
