FIRST SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY.
ORD God! the strength and stay of allWho put their trust in Thee,
Oh! let our prayers, when thus we call,
In love accepted be.
Our mortal nature, weak and frail,
In Thee alone can stand;
Our best and purest efforts fail,
Without Thine aiding hand.
In Thee alone can stand;
Our best and purest efforts fail,
Without Thine aiding hand.
Oh! grant us then both strength and grace,
To keep Thy precepts still;
And striye, through all our mortal race,
Simply to do Thy will.
To keep Thy precepts still;
And striye, through all our mortal race,
Simply to do Thy will.
O Lord! make clean our hearts within;
Forgive us all the past;
And fit us, freed from every sin,
To see Thy face at last.
Forgive us all the past;
And fit us, freed from every sin,
To see Thy face at last.
