1. This is the refuge of one who seeks
The Owner of Majesty, my only hope,

2. From slip of tongue and straying thoughts,
And deeds gone wrong and words not true.

3. If He's no mercy for me, what can guard me?
Yet good opinion's all I have to give me hope.

4. I'm the evildoer, the confessor,
Not one to deny the sins I bear.
