Yet thou hast said, thou wilt accept Prayers offered in thy name; That never tears in vain were wept, If from the heart they came.

Then strike our rocky souls, O Lord, Amid life's desert place; Yet may their hardened depths afford The waters of thy grace.

Low in the dust we kneel and pray, Oh! sanctify our tears: Till they wash every stain away From past and guilty years.
