Author: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715; Nicholas Brady, 1659-1726 Hymnal: Worship (4th ed.) #966 (2011) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Have mercy, Lord, on us,
For you are ever kind;
Though we have sinned before you, Lord,
Your mercy let us find.
2 Lord, wash away our guilt,
And cleanse us from our sin;
For we confess our wrongs, and see
How great our guilt has been.
3 Against you, Lord, alone,
And only in your sight
Have we transgressed; we stand condemned:
Your word is just and right.
4 Blot out our many sins,
Remove them from your view;
Clean hearts create for us, O God;
Our spirits now renew.
5 The joy your grace can give
Let us again obtain,
And may your Spirit's strong support
Our contrite hearts sustain. Topics: Penance / Reconciliation Scripture: Psalm 51 Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL
