Forgive us, Lord! to thee we cry
1
Forgive us, Lord! to thee we cry;Forgive us thro' thy matchless grace;On thee alone our souls rely;Be thou our strength and righteousness.
2
Forgive thou us, as we forgiveThe ills we suffer from our foes;Restore us, Lord! and bid us live;O! let us in thine arms repose.
3
Forgive us, for our guilt is great!Our wretched souls no merit claim;For sovereign mercy still we wait,And ask but in the Saviour's name.
