1 My soul is sad and sinful;
O Father, hear me pray;
Take from my heart this burden,
And bear it far away.

Refrain:
Create in me a clean heart, O God;
renew a right spirit within me.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity;
cleanse me from my sin.

2 O cast my sins behind Thee,
Remember them no more;
Look on Thine own Anointed,
The Christ whom I adore. [Refrain]

3 Forgive, O loving Saviour,
My unbelief and sin;
My soul is waiting, longing,
Thy courts to enter in. [Refrain]

4 O give the oil of gladness,
Accept the gift I bring;
Then I will chant Thy praises,
Thy glory will I sing. [Refrain]
