| Text: | Lord, Like the Publican I Stand |
| Author: | T. Raffles |
| Tune: | AVONDALE |
| Composer: | Charles H. Gabriel |
1. Lord, like the publican I stand,
And lift my heart to Thee;
Thy pard'ning grace, O God, command;
Be merciful to me.
2. I smite upon my anxious breast,
O'erwhelmed with agony!
O save my soul by sin oppressed;
Be merciful to me.
3. My guilt, my shame, I all confess,
I have no hope nor plea
But Jesus' blood and righteousness,
Be merciful to me.
4. Here at Thy cross I still would wait,
Nor from its shelter flee,
Till Thou, O God, in mercy great,
Art merciful to me.
