6 And for my heart’s best friends,

Whose steadfast kindness o’er my painful years

Has watched, to soothe affliction’s griefs and tears,

My warmest prayer ascends.

7 And now, O Father, take

The heart I cast with humble faith on thee,

And cleanse its depths from each impurity,

For my Redeemer’s sake.
