In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) First Line: A beggar poor, at mercy's door Lyrics: 1 A beggar poor, at mercy’s door, Lies such a wretch as I; Thou know’st my need is great indeed, Lord, hear me when I cry. 2 With guilt beset, and deep in debt, For pardon, Lord I pray; O let thy love sufficient prove To take my sins away. 3 A wicked heart is no small part Of my distress and shame; Let sovereign grace its crimes efface, Through Jesus’ blessed name. 4 [My darkened mind, I daily find, Is prone to go astray; Lord, on it shine, with light divine, And guide it in thy way.] 5 [My stubborn will opposes still Thy wise and holy hand; Thy Spirit send to make it bend To thy supreme command.] 6 Affections wild, by sin defiled, Oft hurry me away; Lord, bring them home, nor let them roam From Christ, the Living Way. 7 [A conscience hard does oft retard My walk in holy peace; Let it by thee made tender be, And all its hardness cease.] 8 [My memory bad, but what is sad, Can folly still retain; O fill it, Lord, with thy sweet word, And let it there remain.] 9 Before thy face I’ve told my case; Lord, help, and mercy send; Pity my soul, and make me whole, And love me to the end.
