Psalms of Grace ‎#51c

51c. LORD, I Have Sinned

1 LORD, I have sinned; but, O forgive,
Nor cast me quite away.
Restore my soul, and bid me live,
And be my future stay.

2 O let me from my fall arise,
More watchful and more strong;
Light up my dim and tearful eyes,
And fill my mouth with song.

3 On Christ's prevailing sacrifice,
I all my hopes recline.
A broken spirit Thou dost prize;
And such, O LORD, be mine!

4 Give me a meek, dependent heart,
For all my days to come;
Nor let Thy Spirit e'er depart,
Till I am safe at home.
