Show Pity, Lord; O Lord Forgive;
Let A Repentant Rebel Live;
Are Not Thy Mercies Large And Free?
May Not A Sinner Trust In Thee?
My Crimes, Though Great, Can Not Surpass
The Power And Glory Of Thy Grace;
Great God, Thy Nature Hath No Bound;
So Let Thy Pardoning Love Be Found.
O, Wash My Soul From Every Sin,
And Make My Guilty Conscience Clean;
Here, On My Heart, The Burden Lies,
And Past Offenses Pain My Eyes.
My Lips, With Shame, My Sins Confess,
Against Thy Law, Against Thy Grace;
Lord, Should Thy Judgment Grow Severe,
I Am Condemned, But Thou Art Clear.
Should Sudden Vengeance Seize My Breath,
I Must Pronounce Thee Just In Death;
And If My Soul Were Sent To Hell,
Thy Righteous Law Approves It Well.
Yet Save A Trembling Sinner, Lord,
Whose Hope, Still Hovering Round Thy Word,
Would Light On Some Sweet Promise There,
Some Sure Support Against Despair.
