God Be Merciful to Me

Verse 1:
God be merciful to me, on Thy grace I rest my plea;
Plenteous in compassion Thou, blot out my transgression 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.

Verse 2:
I am evil, born in sin; Thou desirest truth within.
Thou alone my Saviour 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.

Verse 3:
Gracious God, my heart renew, make my spirit right and true;
Cast me not away from Thee, let Thy Spirit dwell in me;
Thy salvation’s joy impart, steadfast make my willing heart,
Thy salvation’s joy impart, steadfast make my willing heart.

Verse 4:
Sinners then shall learn from me and return, O God, to Thee;
Saviour, 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.
