Oh, turn, great Ruler of the skies,
Turn from my sin thy searching eyes,
Nor let th' offences of my hand,
Within thy book recorded stand.
Give me a will to thine subdu'd,
A conscience pure, a soul renew'd;
Nor let me, wrapt in endless gloom.
An outcast from thy presence roam.
Oh, let thy Spirit to my heart
Once more his quickening aid impart;
My mind from every fear release,
And sooth my troubled thoughts to peace.
So shall the souls, whom error's sway
Has urg'd from thee, blest Lord, to stray.
From me thy heavenly precepts learn,
And, humbled, to their God return.
