1 God of pity, God of grace:
When we humbly seek Thy face,
Bend from heaven, Thy dwelling-place;
Hear, forgive, and save.

2 When we in Thy temple meet
Spread our wants before Thy feet,
Pleading at Thy mercy-seat:
Look from heaven and save.

3 Should we wander from Thy fold,
And our love to Thee grow cold,
With a pitying eye behold;
Lord, forgive and save.

4 And whate’er our cry may be,
When we lift our hearts to Thee,
From our burden set us free;
Hear, forgive, and save.

Amen.
