Phillips Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7896 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 To Thee, O gracious Lord, we sing, To Thee in faith we pray, And all our sins to Thee we bring; Lord, wash them all away. 2 We glory in Thy boundless love, We triumph by Thy grace; When shall we come to Heav’n above, To see Thee face to face? 3 This barren wilderness is long, O, be Thou with us, Lord, And by Thy Spirit make us strong, And guide us by Thy Word. 4 Thy holy love, O spread abroad In these soiled hearts of ours, That we may consecrate to God Our bodies and our powers. 5 When comes the time to fall asleep, Thou Morning Star, we pray, Conduct us safe across the deep In Thy own blessèd way.
