Verse 1

We know Thee who Thou art, Lord Jesus, Mary's Son;
We know the yearnings of Thy heart To end Thy work begun.

Verse 2

That sacred fount of grace, 'Mid all the bliss of Heav'n,
Has joy whene'er we seek Thy face, And kneel to be forgiv'n.

Verse 3

Brought home from ways perverse, At peace Thine arms within,
We pray Thee, shield us from the curse Of falling back to sin.

Verse 4

We dare not ask to live Henceforth from trials free;
But oh! when next they tempt us, give More strength to cling to Thee.

Verse 5

We know Thee who Thou art, Our own redeeming Lord;
Be Thou by will, and mind, and heart, Accepted, loved, adored.
