Text: | God, Be Merciful to Me |
Tune: | GOD BE MERCIFUL |
Composer: | Christopher Miner |
1 God, be merciful to me,
On your grace I rest my plea;
Wash me, make me pure within;
Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin.
Refrain:
God, be merciful to me,
On your grace I rest my plea.
2 My transgressions I confess;
Grief and guilt my soul oppress.
I have sinned against your grace
And provoked you to your face. [Refrain]
3 I am evil, born in sin;
You desire truth within.
Make me pure, your mercy show,
Wash me whiter than the snow. [Refrain]
4 Let my contrite heart rejoice
And in gladness hear your voice;
From my sins, O hide your face,
Blot them out in boundless grace. [Refrain] [Refrain]
