The entrance of Thy word gives light: Let it so shine within, That each may tremble at the sight Of his unbosom'd sin.

Ah! then reveal Thy pard'ning love, To young, to old, to all, And raise Thy banish'd ones above The misery of their fall.
Verse 6
As sinners to Thy house we came: As saints may we depart, In humbler, holier, happier frame Of soul, and mind, and heart.
