5 I hear thy word with love, And I would fain obey; Send thy good Spirit from above To guide me, lest I stray.
6 O who can ever find The errors of his ways? Yet, with a bold presumptuous mind, I would not dare transgress.
7 Warn me of every sin, Forgive my secret faults, And cleanse this guilty soul of mine, Whose crimes exceed my thoughts.
8 While with my heart and tongue I spread thy praise abroad, Accept the worship and the song, My Saviour and my God.
