Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: Worship (4th ed.) #960 (2011) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Incipit: 11234 53213 21712 First Line: Sov'reign Maker of all things Lyrics: 1 Sov'reign Maker of all things,
God of covenant and grace,
Ev'ry creature knows your pow'r.
Quakes with fear before your face.
But your mercy far exceeds
What our minds can comprehend;
Deep compassion stays your hand,
Chast'ning not, though we offend.
2 You have promised to forgive
Contrite sinners who repent;
So I come with humbled heart,
By your word made confident.
I have sinned, Lord, I have sinned:
Well I know my wickedness.
Yet I make this prayer to you:
Lord, forgive me, heal, and bless.
3 Let me not be lost in sin,
Banished to eternal night;
God who hears the penitent.
Let your goodness show your might.
Though I be unworthy, Lord,
Your great mercy will I claim,
Till I join the hosts above
Who forever praise your name. Topics: Penance / Reconciliation; Lent III C Languages: English Tune Title: ABERYSTRWYTH
