Lord, We Confess Our Numerous Faults Lyrics

Lord, we confess our numerous faults; How great our guilt has been, How vain and foolish all our thoughts, And all our lives were sin. 2. But, O my soul, forever praise, Forever love, His name Who turns thy feet from dangerous ways Of folly, sin, and shame. 3. 'Tis not by works of righteousness Which our own hands have done, But we are saved by God's free grace Abounding through His Son. 4. 'Tis from the mercy of our God That all our hopes begin; 'Tis by the Water and the Blood Our souls are washed from sin. 5. 'Tis through the purchase of His death Who hung upon the tree The Spirit is sent down to breathe On such dry bones as we. 6. Raised from the dead, we live anew; And justified by grace. We shall appear in glory, too, And see our Father's face.
