Author: T. Raffles Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #417 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, like the publican I stand,
And lift my heart to Thee;
Thy pardoning 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,
But Thou, O God, in mercy great,
Art merciful to me. Topics: Atonement; Confession of Sin; Conversion; Cross of Christ; Faith; Forgiveness of Sin; Mercy of God; Preparatory Service; Rédemption; Sorrow for Sin Languages: English Tune Title: AVONDALE
