With Broken Heart And Contrite Sigh
A Trembling Sinner, Lord, I Cry:
Thy Pardoning Grace Is Rich And Free
O God, Be Merciful To Me.
I Smite Upon My Troubled Breast,
With Deep And Conscience Guilt Oppressed;
Christ And His Cross My Only Plea:
O God, Be Merciful To Me.
Far Off I Stand With Tearful Eyes,
Nor Dare Uplift Them To The Skies;
But Thou Dost All My Anguish See:
O God, Be Merciful To Me.
Nor Alms, Nor Deeds That I Have Done,
Can For A Single Sin Atone;
To Calvary Alone I Flee:
O God, Be Merciful To Me.
And When, Redeemed From Sin And Hell,
With All The Ransomed Throng I Dwell,
My Raptured Song Shall Ever Be,
God Has Been Merciful To Me.
