EN 1865 O Kind Creator, Bow Thine Ear
Ps.141.1
Versi Version 1
1
O kind Creator, bend Thine ear
To mark the cry, to know the tear
Before Thy throne of mercy spent
In this Thy holy fast of Lent.
2
Our hearts are open, Lord, to Thee;
Thou knowest our infirmity;
Pour out on all who seek Thy face
Abundance of Thy pardoning grace.
3
Our sins are many, this we know;
Spare us, good Lord, Thy mercy show;
And for the honor of Thy Name
Our fainting souls to life reclaim.
4
Give us the self control that springs
From discipline of outward things,
That fasting inward secretly
The soul may purely dwell with Thee.
5
We pray Thee, Holy Trinity,
One God, unchanging Unity,
That we from this our abstinence
May reap the fruits of penitence.
