When we fail temptation's testing

When we fail temptation's testing,
find our conscience sleeping, resting,
hear your people's true confession,
bring your grace to make us whole.

Give us time for reparation,
through your mercy, re-creation,
yet when time prevents forgiving
may your grace still make us whole.

Verse 3 follows

Tune: QUEM PASTORES
Metre: 8.8.8.7
