Remember not, O God,
The sins of long ago;
In ten­der mer­cy vis­it us,
Distressed and hum­bled low.

O Lord, our Sav­ior, help,
And glo­ri­fy Thy name;
Deliver us from all our sins,
And take away our shame.

In Thy com­pas­sion hear
Thy pri­son­er’s plaint­ive sigh,
And in the great­ness of Thy pow­er
Save those about to die.

Then, safe with­in Thy fold,
We will ex­alt Thy name;
Our thank­ful hearts with songs of joy
Thy good­ness will pro­claim.
