With ease my tongue will breathe deceit
E'en as for truth I will entreat.
You are that Truth! O make me be
One with you in sincerity.
I fear my heart will be exposed
If, by these lies, it is not closed,
And so my neighbor I misled;
O, make me honest, Lord, I plead!
How could I e’er your praises sing
And my life to you honor bring
When oft I choose to live a lie
Rather than to your mercy fly?
My heart, O Lord, to Truth attune,
That with thy church I may commune;
Restore thy fellowship of love
On earth as at thy throne above.
How could I e’er your praises sing
And my life to you honor bring
When oft I choose to live a lie
Rather than to your mercy fly?
To your mercy fly!
Let the words of my mouth
And the thoughts of my heart
Be pleasing to you, O Lord!
