for our use thy folds prepare.

Thou hast bought us, thine we are.

We are thine, thou dost befriend us,
be the guardian of our way;
keep thy flock, from sin defend us,
seek us when we go astray.

Hear, O hear us when we pray.

Hear, O hear us when we pray.

poor and sinful though we be;

grace to cleanse and power to free.

We will early turn to thee.
