The Psalms of David ‎#H51

H51. Forgie us our Debts as we forgive our Debtors

1 Lord, at thy feet we sinners lie,
And knock at mercy's door;
With heavy heart and down cast eye,
Thy favor we implore.

2 In deep distress we seek thy face
Forgiv'ness to receive;
We trust our souls are taught through grace,
Our debtors to forgive.

3 'Tis pardon, pardon we implore,
O let thy bowels move;
Thy grace is an exhaustless store,
And thou thyself art love.

4 Oh, for thy own, for Jesu's sake,
Our many sins forgive;
Thy grace our rocky hearts can break,
And breaking soon relieve.

5 Mercy, good Lord, mercy we plead,
This is the total sum;
Mercy, thro' Christ, is all we need,
Lord, let thy mercy come.
