Text: | O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry |
Author: | Isaac Watts |
Tune: | HAMBURG |
Arranger: | Lowell Mason |
1 O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry,
Though all my crimes before Thee lie,
Behold them not with angry look,
But blot their memory from Thy book.
2 Create my nature pure within,
And form my soul averse to sin;
Let Thy good Spirit ne'er depart,
Nor hide Thy presence from my heart.
3 I cannot live without Thy light,
Cast out and banish from Thy sight;
Thy holy joys, my God, restore,
And guard me that I fall no more.
4 A broken heart, my God, my King,
Is all the sacrifice I bring;
Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye
And save the soul condemned to die.
5 O may Thy love inspire my tongue!
Salvation shall be all my song,
And all my powers shall join to bless
The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness.
Amen.
