127. God of mercy and compassion

God of mercy and compassion!

Look with pity upon me;

Father! Let me call Thee Father,

'Tis Thy child returns to Thee.

Jesus, Lord, I ask for mercy;

Let me not implore in vain;

All my sins I now detest them,

Never will I sin again.

By my sins I have abandoned

Right and claim to Heav'n above,

Where the Saints rejoice forever

In a boundless sea of love.

See our Saviour, bleeding, dying,

On the Cross of Calvary;

To the Cross my sins have nailed Him,

Yet He bleeds and dies for me.
