Have mercy on me, Lord, after
thy great abounding grace.
After thy mercies multitude
do thou my sin set free.
Yea, wash me clean from my offence
and my iniquity;
For I do own my faults, and still
my sin is in my eye.
Against thee, thee alone, I have
offended in this case,
And evil have I done before
the presence of thy face.
That in the things that thou hast done
upright thou-may'st appear,
And when thou judgest, all may see
that thou art very clear.
In wickedness I form-ed was,.
when I began to be;
My mother at the very first
in sin' conceivèd me:
But lo! truth in the inward parts
is pleasant unto thee,
And secrets of thy wisdom thou
revealèd hast to me.
With hyssop, Lord, besprinkle me.
I shall be cleansed so:
Yea, wash thou me, and then shall I
be whiter than the snow.
Of joy and gladness make thou me
to hear the pleasant voice,
That so the bones which thou, O Lord,
hast broken may rejoice.
From the beholding of my sins,
Lord, turn away thy face,
And all my deeds of wickedness
do utterly efface:
O God, create in me a heart
unspotted in thy sight;
Within my bowels, Lord, renew
a firm and stable sp'rit.
Cast me not from thy sight, nor take
thy Spirit quite away;
The comfort of thy saving health
give me again, I pray;
With thy free Spirit me support,
then shall transgressors be
By my instruction and advice
converted unto thee.
