Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Help us renew, remember, and repent As we prepare to take the sacrament. Our sins and sorrows we can bear no more; O Savior, lift our burdens, we implore.
2. And as we covenant anew with Thee We seek Thy Spirit in humility. Oh, fill our souls with hope as we partake The emblems of Thy suff’ring for our sake.
3. Come, fill our hearts with grace that we may be More filled with tender fruits of charity, More mindful of Thy lone atoning hour, More thankful for Thy great redeeming pow’r.
4. Abide with us, Thou blessed, Holy Son. May ev’ry heart be bound to Thine as one. Help us renew, remember, and repent As we prepare to take the sacrament.
