Second Sunday after Easter

Thou, Saviour, who Thyself didst give,
That all the world might turn and live,
Who dost the careless sinner draw
With cords of love to Thy pure law,
Who dost Thy Church with fondness call,
And by Thy grace receivest all;

Behold us, Lord, before Thy throne,
Inspire and make our hearts Thine own;
Bind to Thy Cross our wandering will,
Each act with holy purpose fill;
Our weakness let Thy strength defend,
Thou Author of our faith, and End!
