"God be merciful to me a sinner”
- Luke 18:13



1.  SlNFUL, sighing to be blest, 

Bound, and longing to be free; 

Weary, waiting for my rest; 

God be merciful to me.


2.  Goodness l have none to plead, 

Sinfulness in all I see,

I can only bring my need:

God be merciful to me.


3.  Broken heart and downcast eyes 

Dare not lift themselves to Thee; 

Yet Thou canst interpret signs: 

God be merciful to me.


4.  From this sinful heart of mine

To Thy bosom I would flee:

I am not my own but Thine:

God be merciful to me.


5.  There is one beside the throne, 

And my only hope and plea 

Are in Him, and Him alone; 

God be merciful to me.


6.  He my cause will undertake, 

My Interpreter will be,

He’s my all; and for his sake 

God be merciful to me.  Amen
