Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
God of mercy and compassion,
Look with pity upon me;
Father, let me call thee Father,
Tis thy child returns to thee.
REFRAIN
Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy,
Let me not implore in vain;
All my sins I now detest them,
Never will I sin again.
VERSE 2
By my sins I have deserved,
Death and endless misery;
Hell with all its pain and torment,
And for all eternity.
VERSE 3
By my sins I have abandoned,
Right and claim to heav'n above;
Where the saints rejoice forever,
In a boundless sea of love.
VERSE 4
See our Saviour, bleeding, dying,
On the Cross of Calvary;
To that Cross my sins have nailed him,
Yet he bleeds and dies for me.
