While we lowly bow before Thee,
Wilt Thou, gracious Saviour, hear?
We are poor and needy sinners,
Full of doubt and full of fear;
Gracious Sav­ior, gracious Sav­ior,
Make us humble and sincere.

Fill us with Thy Ho­ly Spi­rit;
Sanctify us by Thy grace;
Oh, incline us more to love Thee,
And in dust our souls abase.
Hear us, Sav­ior, hear us, Sav­ior,
And unveil Thy glo­ri­ous face.

None in vain did ever ask Thee
For the Spi­rit of Thy love;
Hear us then, dear Sav­ior, hear us;
Grant an answer from above;
Blessèd Sav­ior, blessèd Sav­ior,
Hear, and answer from above.
