Lord,
be merciful, to us,
in
your love we only trust.
In
your large expansive grace
our
transgressions all erase.
Wash
us from our stain and sin,
make
us clean outside and in.
All
our sins before you rise.
They
are grievous in your eyes.
We
have sinned ‘gainst you alone,
in
your sight our evil done.
All
your judgments, true and just,
bring
us down into the dust.
We
were sinful at our birth,
all
our deeds of little worth.
When
conceived we were unclean,
born
into a life of sin.
With
your hyssop scrub our soul,
make
us pure, completely whole.
Then
we’ll be as white as snow.
For
the blood from Christ did flow
cleansing
us from sin so strong,
saving
us from every wrong.
Let
me shout with joyful voice.
Glad
and free, let me rejoice.
From
our sins please hide your face,
our
iniquities erase.
Give
to us a brand new heart
and
a spirit good impart.
Make
us pure, for Jesus sake,
all
our misdeeds from us take.
Then
we’ll shout and dance and sing
Praise
to you our God we’ll bring.
And
our mouths shall praise the Lord
for
the gospel’s gracious word.
We
will serve you with delight,
and
praise you both day and night.
Have
mercy, O Lord.
Have
mercy. AMEN
