Hymnal: Dr. Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #122a (1790) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Dr. Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David Lyrics: 1 God of mercy! hear my call,
My loads of guilt remove;
Break down this separating wall,
That bars me from my love.
2 Give me the presence of thy grace,
Then my rejoicing tongue
Shall speak aloud thy righteousness,
And make thy praise my song.
3 No blood of goats, nor heifers slain,
For sin could e'er atone:
The death of Christ shall still remain
Sufficient and alone.
4 A soul opprest with sin's desert,
My God will ne'er despise;
A humble groan, a broken heart,
Is our best sacrifice. Scripture: Psalm 51:14-17 Languages: English
O God of mercy! hear my call
