1 Now are the days of humblest prayer, | |||
When consciences to God lie bare, | |||
And mercy most delights to spare. | |||
Refrain: | |||
Oh hearken when we cry, | |||
Chastise us with Thy fear; | |||
Yet, Father! in the multitude | |||
Of Thy compassions, hear! | |||
2 Now is the season, wisely long, | |||
Of sadder thought and graver song, | |||
When ailing souls grow well and strong. [Refrain] | |||
{{mdl|3}} | |||
3 The feast of penance! Oh so bright, | |||
With true conversion’s heav’nly light, | |||
Like sunrise after stormy night! [Refrain] | |||
4 Oh happy time of blessèd tears, | |||
Of surer hopes, of chastening fears, | |||
Undoing all our evil years. [Refrain] | |||
5 We, who have loved the world, must learn, | |||
Upon that world our backs to turn, | |||
And with the love God to burn. [Refrain] | |||
{{mdl|3}} | |||
6 Vile creatures of such little worth! | |||
Than we, there can be none on earth | |||
More fallen from their Christian birth. [Refrain] | |||
7 Full long in sin’s dark ways we went, | |||
Yet now our steps are heav’nward bent, | |||
And grace is plentiful in Lent. [Refrain] | |||
8 All glory to redeeming grace, | |||
Disdaining not our evil case, | |||
But showing us our Savior’s face! [Refrain] | |||
