Author: John Taylor Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #314 (1917) Hymnal Title: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church Lyrics: 1 God of Mercy! God of Grace!
Hear our sad penitentant songs.
O restore Thy suppliant race,
Thou, to Whom our praise belongs!
2 Deep regret for follies past,
Talents wasted, time misspent'
Hearts debased by worldly cares,
Thankless for the blessings lent;
3 Foolish fears and fond desires,
Vain regrets for things as vain,
Lips too seldom taught to praise,
Oft to murmur and complain;
4 These, and every secret fault,
Filled with grief and shame, we own;
Humbled at Thy feet we lie,
Seeking pardon from Thy throne.
Amen.
