God be merciful to me
On Thy grace, I rest my plea
Plenteous in compassion, Thou
Blot out my transgressions now
Wash me, make me pure within
Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin
Wash me, make me pure within
Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin

Broken, humbled to the dust
By Thy wrath and judgement just
Let my contrite heart rejoice
And in gladness heed Thy voice
From my sins, O hide Thy face
Blot them out in boundless grace
From my sins, O hide Thy face
Blot them out in boundless grace

Gracious God, my heart renew
Make my spirit right and true
Cast me not away from Thee
Let Thy Spirit dwell in me
Thy salvation’s joy impart
Steadfast make my willing heart
Thy salvation’s joy impart
Steadfast make my willing heart

Sinners then shall learn from me
And return, O God to Thee
Savior, all my guilt remove
And my tongue shall sing Thy love
Touch my silent lips, O Lord
And my mouth shall praise accord
Touch my silent lips, O Lord
And my mouth shall praise accord
And my mouth shall praise accord

God be merciful to me
