Original text and translations

English text

1.

O God, most merciful and true,

Thy nature to my soul impart;

’Stablish with me the covenant new,

And write salvation on my heart.

2.

To real holiness restored,

O let me gain my Savior’s mind,

And in the knowledge of my Lord,

Fullness of life eternal find!

3.

Remember, Lord, my sins no more,

That them I may no more forget;

But, sunk in guiltless shame, adore,

With speechless wonder, at Thy feet.

4.

O’erwhelmed with Thy stupendous grace,

I shall not in Thy presence move,

But breathe unutterable praise,

And rapturous awe, and silent love.

5.

Then every murmuring thought and vain

Expires, in sweet confusion lost;

I cannot of my cross complain,

I cannot of my goodness boast.

6.

Pardoned for all that I have done,

My mouth as in the dust I hide

And glory give to God alone,

My God forever pacified.

Lyrics: Charles Wes­ley, Short Hymns on Se­lect Pass­ag­es of the Ho­ly Scrip­tures, 1762.
