Ezra 9:15: Such as we are, without disguise

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Such as we are, without disguise,
Or colouring we appear,
O'erwhelm'd, before Thy glorious eyes,
With guilty shame and fear:
Ezra ix. 8 — NelLeniiah ii. 3.
Helpless, and in our trespasses,
Most gracious God, receive,
And us who thus our sins confess,
For Jesu's sake forgive.
