With grief and shame I humbly call;
I see my sins against you, Lord,
The sins of thought, of deed, and word.
They press me sore; to you I flee:
O God, be merciful to me!
2 My Lord and God, to you I pray,
Oh, cast me not in wrath away;
Let your good Spirit ne'er depart,
But let him draw to you my heart
That truly penitent I be:
O God, be merciful to me!
3 O Jesus, let your precious blood
Be to my soul a cleansing flood.
Turn not, O Lord, your guest away,
But grant that justified I may
Go to my house, at peace to be:
O God, be merciful to me! Used With Tune: VATER UNSER
To You, Omniscient Lord of All
