Hymnal: PsH1934 #102 (1934) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 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 Tee,
Let Thy Spirit dwell in me;
Thy salvation's joy impart,
Stedfast make my willing heart.
Thy salvation's joy impart,
Stedfast 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.
