As now thy children lowly kneel

From Oremus Hymnal

As now thy children lowly kneel,
and all for mercy pray,
O Father, make us truly feel
the solemn words we say.

Teach us to hate the power of sin,
which parts our soul from thee;
help us to make our life within
what thou wilt love to see.

Teach us to trust the Lamb of God,
who takes our sins away;
help us to choose the path he trod,
and so thy will obey.

Teach us to keep thy holy laws
because we trust thy love;
help us to rise, when Jesus draws,
to better joys above.

O teach us more our sin to fear,
and more thy word to love:
help us on earth the cross to bear,
and win the crown above.
