 And when our hearts are cold and dead

O help us, Lord, the more.

O help us, through the pray'r of faith

More firmly to believe;

For still the more the servant hath,

The more shall he receive.

O help us, Jesus, from on high;

We know no help but Thee;

O help us so to live and die

As Thine in Heav'n to be.

O Lord! turn not Thy face away

From him that lies prostrate,

Lamenting sore his sinful life,

Before Thy mercy gate;

Which Thou dost open wide to those

That do lament their sin;

O shut it not against me Lord,

But let me enter in.

Call me not to a strict account

How I have lived here;

For then I know full well, O Lord,

Most vile I shall appear.

So come I to the throne of grace,

Where mercy doth abound;

Desiring mercy for my sin,

To heal my deadly wound.
