Author: Carl Doving, 1867-1937; Magnus B. Landstad, 1802-1880 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #310 (1978) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 To you, omniscient Lord of all,
With grief and shame I humbly call;
I see my sins against you, Lord,
The sins of thought, of deed, and word.
They press me sore; to you I flee:
O God, be merciful to me!
2 My Lord and God, to you I pray,
Oh, cast me not in wrath away;
Let your good Spirit ne'er depart,
But let him draw to you my heart
That truly penitent I be:
O God, be merciful to me!
3 O Jesus, let your precious blood
Be to my soul a cleansing flood.
Turn not, O Lord, your guest away,
But grant that justified I may
Go to my house, at peace to be:
O God, be merciful to me! Topics: Repentance, Forgiveness; Pentecost 15 (Year B); Pentecost 23 (Year C); Atonement; Humility; Repentance, Forgiveness Languages: English Tune Title: VATER UNSER
