A Prayer for Persons Joined in Fellowship, Part 2

Jesu, all power is given to Thee;
Command our inward parts;
Turn, as the rivers of the sea,
Our hard unyielding hearts.

Our hearts are to ourselves unknown,
Till Thou the veil remove;
Open, enlarge, and melt them down
By Thy victorious love.

Thee, at Thy word, we come to meet,
And humbly to confess,
While lowly prostrate at Thy feet,
Our utter sinfulness.

O let us faithfully obey
The counsel of Thy will,
And each to each our faults display,
Our every thought reveal.

Our fig-leaves all be cast aside;
Let no self-soothing art
Conceal the lust, to' indulge the pride
Of a foul hellish heart.

Open a window in our breast,
That each our heart may see,
And let no secret be supprest,
Since all are known to Thee.

Remove the sins which we declare,
The burden of our soul,
And hear the mutual faithful prayer,
Which makes the sinner whole.

To all, through faith which is in Thee,
A perfect soundness give,
And let us, from all sin set free,
The life of Jesus live.
