Our Guilt Do We Confess Today (EN 2624)

EN 2624 Our Guilt Do We Confess Today

Hos.4.1

Versi Version 1

1

Our guilt do we confess today,

Your law did we reject;

So little truth and mercy here—

Your Word sees no respect.

2

We swear, we lie, we kill and steal,

See harlotry increase;

We break restraint, and blood on blood,

Ignore the law of peace.

3

Our land, it mourns, we waste away,

For wisdom seek we not;

Destruction will our portion be,

If God we have forgot.

4

To crystals, stone, and gold we pray,

Those worthless things we preach;

Those sightless eyes, unhearing ears,

In vain do we beseech.

5

We well deserve the charge You bring,

Upon us lays the blame;

Contentious, proud, we stumble on,

Our glory turns to shame.

6

Show us that only in Your Word

Do truth and mercy live;

Send priests and prophets to instruct,

And Your pure wisdom give.

7

Have mercy, Lord, reject us not,

Draw us to seek Your face;

Direct our feet and deeds to You,

Restore us by Your grace.

8

Lord, melt these icy hearts of stone,

Make us Your counsel seek,

And sacrifice to You alone,

With humble hearts and meek.
