Editor: Noel Stoutenburg (submitted 2002-10-08). Score information: Letter, 1 page, 64 kB Copyright: Personal

Edition notes: v. 1 underlaid

General Information

Title: Lord, we confess our numerous faults
Composers: William Tansur and Maurice Greene
Tune: BANGOR
Lyricist: Isaac Watts

Number of voices: 4vv Voicing: SATB
Genre: Sacred, Hymn Meter: 86. 86 (C.M.)

First published: 1734 in Harmony of Zion
Description: Although one source attributes this tune to the XVIIIth century English organist Maurice Greene (1696 - 1755), which is plausible because Greene almost certainly would have been acquainted with the William Tans'ur, editor of Harmony of Zion, 1734, the collection in which it first appears. However, the tune apparently lacks attribution in the source, and Tans'ur appears to generally be assumed to have been the composer. (Noel Stoutenburg). Words by Isaac Watts, Hymn 111 of Book 1.

-Lord, we confess our numerous faults,
-How great our guilt has been!
-Foolish and vain were all our thoughts,
-And all our lives were sin.
-But, O my soul! for ever praise,
-For ever love His name,
-Who turns thy feet from dangerous ways
-Of folly, sin and shame.
-’Tis not by works of righteousness
-Which our own hands have done;
-But we are saved by sovereign grace
-Abounding through His Son.
-’Tis from the mercy of our God
-That all our hopes begin;
-’Tis by the water and the blood
-Our souls are washed from sin.
-’Tis through the purchase of His death
-Who hung upon the tree,
-The Spirit is sent down to breathe
-On such dry bones as we.
-Raised from the dead we live anew;
-And, justified by grace,
-We shall appear in glory too,
-And see our Father’s face.}}
