| ST. BEES | 7 7 7 7 | John Bacchus Dykes | | LEW TRENCHARD | 7 7 7 7 | | | | 1. Sinful, sighing to be blest,
Bound, and longing to be free;
Weary, waiting for my rest:
God, be merciful to me.
2. Holiness I’ve none to plead,
Sinfulness is all I see,
I can only bring my need:
God, be merciful to me.
3. Broken heart and downcast eyes,
Dare not lift themselves to Thee;
Yet Thou canst interpret sighs:
God, be merciful to me.
4. From this sinful heart of mine
To Thy bosom I would flee;
I am not mine own, but Thine:
God, be merciful to me.
5. There is One beside Thy throne,
And my only hope and plea
Are in Him and Him alone:
God, be merciful to me.
6. He my cause will undertake,
My Interpreter will be;
He’s my all, and for His sake,
God, be merciful to me.
