COME, O thou all-victorious Lord! Thy power to us make known; Strike with the hammer of thy word, And break these hearts of stone.

O that we all might now begin Our foolishness to mourn; And turn at once from every sin, And to our Saviour turn!

Give us ourselves and thee to know, In this our gracious day; Repentance unto life bestow, And take our sins away.

Conclude us first in unbelief, And freely then release; Fill every soul with sacred grief, And then with sacred peace.

Impoverish, Lord, and then relieve, And then enrich the poor; The knowledge of our sickness give, The knowledge of our cure.

That blessed sense of guilt impart, And then remove the load; Trouble, and wash the troubled heart In the atoning blood.

Our desperate state through sin declare, And speak our sins forgiven; By perfect holiness prepare, And take us up to heaven.
