Thou Lord of all above,
And all below the sky,
Prostrate before Thy feet I fall,
And for Thy mercy cry.
Forgive my follies past,
The crimes which I have done,
Bid a repenting sinner live,
Through Thy incarnate Son.
Guilt, like a heavy load,
Upon my conscience lies,
To Thee I make my sorrows known,
And lift my weeping eyes.
The burden which I feel,
Thou canst only remove,
Do thou display Thy pardoning grace,
And Thy unbounded love.
One gracious look of thine
Will ease my troubled breast:
Oh let me know my sins forgiven,
And I shall then be blest.
---Alternative verses---
Forgive my follies past,
The crimes which I have done,
O, bid a contrite sinner live,
Through Thy incarnate Son.
Thou Lord of all above,
And all below the sky,
Before Thy feet I prostrate fall,
And for Thy mercy cry.
The burden which I feel,
Thou only canst remove,
Do thou display Thy pardoning grace,
And Thy unbounded love.
The burden which I feel,
Thou only canst remove,
Display, O Lord, Thy pardoning grace,
And Thy unbounded love.
