430. Contrite Prayer Answered

1. To God, the contrite sinner flies,
And at his feet for mercy cries;
Forgive a rebel all undone,
And save me through thine only Son.

2. Jehovah lends a gracious ear,
To every penitential prayer;
Relieves the soul with guilt oppressed,
And gives the burdened sinner rest.

3. Does he who sits and reigns on high,
Thus bring his pardoning mercy nigh;
Then to his name be honours given,
By the redeemed in earth and heaven.
