O GOD, THY PEOPLE GATHER

  1. O God, thy people gather;
    Obedient to Thy word;
    Around thy holy altar,
    To praise Thy name O Lord,
    For all thy loving kindness,
    Our grateful hearts we raise;
    But pardon first the blindness
    Of all our sinful ways.
  2. Thou are our loving Father,
    Thou art our holiest Lord:
    But we have sinned against Thee
    By thought and deed and word,
    Before the court of heaven
    We stand and humbly pray
    Our sins may be forgiven
    Our faults be washed away.
  3. Though sinful, we implore Thee
    To turn and make us live,
    That so we may adore thee
    And our due offering give.
    And may the prayers and voices
    Of thy glad people rise,
    As thy whole Church rejoices
    In this great Sacrifice.
