Lord, beneath Thy searching eye,
See a helpless sinner lie,
From whose heart goes up the cry,
"Unclean, unclean!”
Leper-like disease within,
Hidden deeper than the skin,
All my nature full of sin—
"Utterly unclean!”
To Thy holy eye alone
This my case is fully shown,
All the depths of evil known,
"Proving me unclean.”
Priest of God upon the throne,
Who for sin didst once atone,
Having borne the wrath alone,
"Thou canst make me clean.”
