128. Fifty-First Psalm

1 From my sins hide Thou Thy face, Blot them out in Thy rich grace; Free my heart, O God, from sin, Spirit right renew within. Cast me not away from Thee, Nor Thy Spirit take from me. 2 Freed from guilt, my tongue shall raise Songs Thy righteousness to praise; Open Thou my lips, O Lord, Then my mouth shall praise accord; Sacrifice Thou wilt not take, Else would I the off’ring make. 3 Sacrifice or burnt off’ring Can to Thee no pleasure bring; But a spirit crushed for sin, Contrite, broken heart within. Thine accepted sacrifice, Thou, O God, wilt not despise.
