"A BROKEN AND A CONTRITE HEARTO GODTHOU WILT NOT DESPISE"

by William Cullen Bryant

A BROKEN AND A CONTRITE HEARTO GODTHOU WILT NOT DESPISE -

O Godwhose dread and dazzling brow

Love never yet forsook!

On those who seek thy presence now

In deep compassion look. -

Aid our weak steps and eyesight dim

The paths of peace to find

And lead us all to learn of Him

Who died to save mankind. -

For many a frail and erring heart

Is in thy holy sight

And feet too willing to depart

From the plain way of right. -

Yetpleased the humble prayer to hear

And kind to all that live

Thouwhen thou seest the contrite tear

Art ready to forgive. - -
