O thou that Hear'st when Sinners Cry

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 342 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry, Tho' all my crimes before Thee lie, Behold them not with angry look, But blot their mem'ry from Thy book. 2 Create my nature pure within And form my soul averse to sin; Let Thy good Spirit ne'er depart Nor hide Thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without Thy light, Cast out and banish from Thy sight; Thy holy joys, my God, restore And guard me that I fall no more. 4 Tho' I have grieved Thy Spirit, Lord, His help and comfort still afford And let me now come near Thy throne To plead the merits of Thy Son. 5 A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring. Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye And save the soul condemned to die. 6 Oh, may Thy love inspire my tongue! Salvation shall be all my song; And all my powers shall join to bless The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness. Amen. Topics: Confession and Absolution Scripture: Psalm 61 Used With Tune: HAMBURG
