Hymn 408
There is a holy sacrifice
1 There is a holy sacrifice,
Which God in heaven will despise
Yea, which is precious in His eyes,
The contrite heart.
2 That lofty One, before whose throne
The countless hosts of heaven bow down,
Another dwelling-place will own,
The contrite heart.
3The Holy One, the son of God,
His pardoning love will shed aboard,
And consecrate as His abode
The contrite heart.
4 The Holy Spirit from on high,
Will listen to its faintest cry.
And cheer and bless and purify
The contrite heart
5 Saviour, I cast my hopes on Thee,
Such as Thou art, I fain would be;
In mercy, Lord bestow on me,
The contrite heart.
