Penitence

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #187 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Show pity, Lord! O Lord, forgive! Lyrics: 1 Show pity, Lord! O Lord, forgive! Let a repenting rebel live. Are not thy mercies large and free? May not a sinner trust in thee? 2 With shame my num'rous sins I trace Against thy law, against thy grace; And, though my pray'r thou shouldst not hear, My doom is just, and thou art clear. 3 Yet save a penitent, O Lord! Whose hope, still hov'ring round thy word, Seeks for some precious promise there, Some sure support against despair. 4 My sins, though great, but don't surpass The riches of eternal grace. Great God! thy nature hath no bound: So let thy pard'ning love be found. 5 O wash my soul from ev'ry stain, Nor let the guilt I mourn remain. Give me to hear thy pard'ning voice, And bid my bleeding heart rejoice. 6 Then shall thy love inspire my tongue; Salvation shall be all my song; And ev'ry power shall join to bless The Lord, my strength and righteousness.

Psalm 51

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #271 (1890) First Line: Show pity, Lord! O Lord! forgive Lyrics: 1 Show pity, Lord! O Lord! forgive; Let a repenting rebel live; Are not thy mercies large and free? May not a sinner trust in thee? 2 Oh, wash my soul from every sin, And make my guilty conscience clean; Here on my heart the burden lies, And past offences pain mine eyes. 3 My lips with shame my sins confess, Against thy law, against thy grace: Lord! should thy judgments grow severe, I am condemned, but thou art clear. 4 Should sudden vengeance seize my breath, I must pronounce thee just in death; And if my soul were sent to hell, Thy righteous law approves it well. 5 Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord! Whose hope still hovering round thy word, Would light on some sweet promise there, Some sure support against despair.
