Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 788 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Show pity, Lord; O Lord! forgive;
Let a repenting rebel live.
Are not Thy mercies large and free?
May not a sinner trust in Thee?
2 Great God, Thy nature hath no bound,
So let Thy pardoning love be found.
Oh, wash my soul from every sin,
And make my guilty conscience clean!
3 My lips with shame my sins confess
Against Thy law, against Thy grace:
Lord, should Thy judgment grow severe,
I am condemned, but Thou art clear.
4 Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord,
Whose hope, still hovering round Thy Word,
Would light on some sweet promise there,
Some sure support against despair.
Amen. Topics: Repentance Used With Tune: MIN LJUFVA TRÖST
