360. O Thou, whose mercy hears

1 O Thou, whose mercy hears
Contrition's humble sigh;
Whose hand, indulgent, wipes the tears
From sorrow's weeping eye!--

2 See! at Thy throne of grace,
A wretched wanderer mourn;
Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face?
Hast Thou not said, Return?

3 Absent from Thee, my light,
Without one cheering ray,
Through dangers fears, and gloomy night,
How desolate my way!

4 Oh Shine upon my heart,
With beams of mercy shine;
And let Thy healing voice impart
A taste of joys divine.
