God Be Merciful to Me (Psalm 51) Lyrics

God be merciful to me. On Thy grace I rest my plea
Plenteous in compassion now, blot out my transgressions now
Wash me, make me pure within. Cleanse, oh, cleanse me from my sin
My transgressions I confess Grief and guilt my soul oppress
I have sinned against Thy grace and provoked Thee to Thy face
I confess Thy judgment just. Speechless, I, Thy mercy trust

I am evil born in sin; Thou desirest truth within
Thou alone my Savior are; Teach Thy wisdom to my heart
Make me pure, Thy grace bestow. Wash me whiter than the snow
Gracious God, my heart renew; make my spirit right and true
Thou salvation's joy impart. Steadfast make my willing heart
Steadfast make my willing heart

Broken, humbled to the dust by Thy wrath and judgment just
Let my contrite heart rejoice and in gladness hear Thy voice
From my sins, oh, hide Thy face and blot them out in boundless grace
