O Turn, Great Ruler Of The Skies

Verse 1

O turn, great Ruler of the skies, Turn from my sin Thy searching eyes, Nor let th'offences of my hand, Within Thy book, recorded stand.

Verse 2

Give me a will to thine subdued, A conscience pure, a soul renewed; Nor let me, wrapt in endless gloom, An outcast from Thy presence roam.

Verse 3

Oh, let Thy Spirit to my heart Once more His quickening aid impart, My mind from every fear release, And sooth my troubled thoughts to peace.

Verse 4

So shall the souls whom error's sway Has urged from Thee, blest Lord, to stray, From me Thy heavenly precepts learn, And humbled to their God return.

Verse 5

Amen.
