Show pity, Lord; O Lord, forgive!
1
Show pity, Lord; O Lord, forgive!Let a repenting sinner live;Are not thy mercies large and free?May not the guilty trust in thee?
2
My crimes, though great, do not surpassThe power and glory of thy grace;O, wash my soul from every sin,And make my guilty conscience clean!
3
My lips with shame my sins confess,Against thy law, against thy grace;Lord, should thy judgment be severe,I am condemned, but thou art clear.
4
Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord,Whose hope, still hovering round thy word,Would light on some sweet promise there,Some sure support against despair.
