- 1O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry,
- Though all my crimes before Thee lie,
- Behold them not with angry look,
- But blot their memory from Thy book.
- 2Create 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.
- 3I 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.
- 4Though 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.
- 5A 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.
- 6O 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.
