Lord, I my wretched state confess,
My guilt and fears, and helplessness,
My proneness from thy laws to stray,
And wander in the downward way.
Sure if I perish, thou art just,
Yet in thy mercy would I trust ?
Thy grace is boundless, rich and free,
Display its saving power in me !
Exert thine influence divine,
And on my soul vouchsafe to shine;
Cause me to hear thy pard’ning voice,
And bid my broken bones rejoice.
