297 – God Be Merciful to Me

1

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.

 

2

I am evil, born in sin;

Thou desirest truth within.

Thou alone my Savior art,

Teach Thy wisdom to my heart;

Make me pure, Thy grace bestow,

Wash me whiter than the snow,

Make me pure, Thy grace bestow,

Wash me whiter than the snow.

 

3

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.

 

4

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.
