As Now Thy Children Lowly Kneel

teach us to hate the power of sin,

which parts our souls from thee;

help us to make our life within

what thou wilt love to see.

teach us to trust the lamb of god,

who takes our sins away;

help us to choose the path he trod,

and so thy will obey.

teach us to keep thy holy laws

because we trust thy love;

help us to rise, when jesus draws

to better joys above.

o teach us more our sins to fear

and more thy word to love:

help us on earth the cross to bear

and win the crown above.
