Penitence

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #304 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Show pity, Lord! O Lord, forgive! Lyrics: 1 Show pity, Lord! O Lord, forgive! Let a repenting sinner live, Are not Thy mercies large and free? May not the contrite trust in Thee? 2 With shame my numerous sins I trace Against Thy law, against Thy grace; And, though my prayer Thou shouldst not hear My doom is just, and Thou art clear. 3 Yet save a penitent, O Lord! Whose hope, still hovering round Thy word, Seeks for some precious promise there, Some sure support against despair. 4 My sins are great, but don't surpass The riches of eternal grace. Great God! Thy nature hath no bound: So let Thy pardoning love be found. 5 Oh wash my soul from every stain, Nor let the guilt I mourn remain. Give me to hear Thy pardoning voice, And bid my bleeding heart rejoice. 6 Then shall Thy love inspire my tongue, Salvation shall be all my song; And every power shall join to bless The Lord, my strength and righteousness.

Psalm 51 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.118 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Show pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive Lyrics: Show pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive, Let a repenting rebel live: Are not thy mercies large and free? May not a sinner trust in thee? My crimes are great, but not surpass The power and glory of thy grace: Great God, thy nature hath no bound, So let thy pard'ning love be found. O wash my soul from every sin, And make my guilty conscience clean; Here on my heart the burden lies, And past offences pain my eyes. My lips with shame my sins confess Against thy law, against thy grace: Lord, should thy judgment grow severe, I am condemned, but thou art clear. Should sudden vengeance seize my breath, I must pronounce thee just in death; And if my soul were sent to hell, Thy righteous law approves it well. Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord, Whose hope, still hov'ring round thy word, Would light on some sweet promise there, Some sure support against despair.
