Hymn for Atonement Day

Lord, Your humble servants hear, 
Suppliant now before You, 
Our Father, from Your children's plea 
Turn not, we implore You! 

Lord, Your people, sore oppressed, 
From the depths implore You; 
Our Father, let us not, this day, 
Cry in vain before You. 

Lord, blot out our evil pride, 
All our sins before You; 
Our Father, for Your Mercy's sake, 
Pardon, we implore You. 

Lord, no sacrifice we bring, 
Prayers and tears implore You; 
Our Father, take the gift we lay, 
Contrite hearts, before You. 

Lord, Your sheep have wandered far, 
Gather them before You; 
Our Father, let Your shepherd love 
Guide us, we implore You. 

Lord, Your pardon grant to all 
That in truth, implore You; 
Our Father, let our evening prayer 
Now find grace before You. 

Lord, Your humble servants hear, 
Suppliant now before You; 
Our Father, from Your children's plea 
Turn not, we implore You!
