The Psalter ‎#61

61. The Sins of Youth

1 My sins and faults of youth,
Let them forgotten be,
And for Thy tender mercies' sake,
O Lord, remember me.

2 The Lord is just and good,
Instructing those that stray;
The meek He will in judgment guide
And make them know His way.

3 The pathways of the Lord
Are truth and mercy sure
The meek He will in judgement guide
And make them know His way.

4 For Thy Name's sake, O Lord,
With Thee I humbly plead
To pardon my iniquity,
For it is great indeed.
