HEAR, gracious God, a sinner’s cry! For I have nowhere else to fly; My only hope is found in Thee: O God, be merciful to me! |
|||
2 | To Thee I come, a sinner poor, And wait for mercy at Thy door; For, Lord, I’ve nowhere else to flee; O God, be merciful to me! |
||
3 | To Thee I come, a sinner weak, Scarce knowing how to pray or speak; From fear and weakness set me free: O God, be merciful to me! |
||
4 | To Thee I come, a sinner vile, Upon me, Lord, be pleased to smile, Mercy alone I make my plea: O God, be merciful to me! |
||
5 | To Thee I come, a sinner great, And well Thou knowest all my state; Yet full forgiveness is with Thee: O God, be merciful to me! |
||
6 | To Thee I come, a sinner lost, Having no worth in which to trust; But where Thou art, Lord, I would be: O God, be merciful to me! |
