Bear me, Lord, in heart I pray,

Object of Thy saving way,

Lest thou lose me on that day.

Weary seeking me wast Thou,
And for me in death didst bow,
Be Thy toils availing now!

Judge of Justice, Thee, I pray,
Grant me pardon while I may,
Ere that awful reckoning-day.

O'er my crimes I guilty groan,
Blush to think what I have done,
Spare Thy suppliant, Holy One.

Thou did'st set the adultress free,
Heard'st the thief upon the tree
Hope vouchsafing e'en to me.

Nought of Thee my prayers can claim, Save in Thy free mercy's name,

Save me from the deathless flame!

With Thy sheep my place assign,
Separate from th' accursed line,

Set me on Thy right hand with Thine.

When the lost, to silence driven,
To devouring flames are given,
Call me with the blest to Heaven!

Suppliant, fallen, low I bend,
My bruised heart to ashes rend,
Care thou, Lord, for my last end!

Full of tears that day shall prove
When, from ashes rising, move

To the judgment guilty men.
Spare, Thou God of mercy, then!

Lord all-pitying, Jesu blest!
Grant them Thine eternal rest.

Amen.
