| 1. Have mercy, Lord, on me,
as thou wert ever kind;
Let me, oppressed with loads of guilt,
thy wonted mercy find.
2. Wash off my foul offence,
and cleanse me from my sin;
For I confess my crime, and see
how great my guilt has been.
3. Against thee, Lord, alone,
and only in thy sight
Have I transgressed, and tho' condemned,
must own my juugments right.
4. In guilt each part was formed
of all this sinful frame;
In guilt I was conceived, and born
the heir of sin and shame.
5. Yet thou; whose searching eye
doth inward truth require,
In secret didst with wisdom's laws
my tender soul inspire.
6. With hyssop purge me, Lord,
and so I clean shall be;
I shall with snow in whiteness vie,
when purified by thee.
7. Make me to hear with joy
thy kind forgiving voice;
That so the bones which thou hast broke
may with fresh strength rejoice.
8. Blot out my crying sins,
nor me in anger view;
Create in me a heart that's clean,
an upright mind renew.
