Hymns for Children, 4

O Could I now to God return
With all sincerity of grief.
My sinfulness, and folly mourn,
My guilt, and helpless unbelief!

O could I now the faith obtain,
That evidence of things unseen,
And know the Lamb for sinners slain,
For me, the sinfuUest of men!

Come, Holy Ghost, the grace impart.
Reveal the dying Deity,
And feelingly convince my heart
He loved, and gave Himself for me.

The pardon on my conscience seal.
Inspire the sense of sin forgiven
And all my new-born soul shall feel
That holiness is present heaven.
