Author: John Taylor Hymnal: Church Book #351 (1890) Publication Date: 1890 Lyrics: 1 God of mercy! God of grace!
Hear our sad repentant songs.
O restore Thy suppliant race,
Thou to whom our praise belongs!
2 Deep regret for follies past,
Talents wasted, time misspent;
Hearts debased by worldly cares,
Thankless for the blessings lent:
3 Foolish fears and fond desires,
Vain regrets for things as vain:
Lips too seldom taught to praise.
Oft to murmur and complain;
4 These, and every secret fault,
Filled with grief and shame, we own.
Humbled at Thy feet we lie,
Seeking pardon from Thy throne. Topics: The Order of Salvation Repentance; Sundays in Lent Languages: English Tune Title: AUS DER TIEFEN RUFE ICH
God of mercy! God of grace!
