God, Be Merciful to Me

Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #51C (2018) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 God, be merciful to me, on thy grace I rest my plea; plenteous in compassion thou, blot out my transgressions now; wash me, make me pure within, cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin. 2 My transgressions I confess, grief and guilt my soul oppress; I have sinned against thy grace and provoked thee to thy face; I confess thy judgment just, speechless, I thy mercy trust. 3 I am evil, born in sin; thou desirest truth within. Thou alone my Savior art, teach thy wisdom to my heart; make me pure, thy grace bestow, wash me whiter than the snow. 4 Broken, humbled to the dust by thy wrath and judgment just, let my contrite heart rejoice and in gladness hear thy voice; from my sins O hide thy face, blot them out in boundless grace. 5 Gracious God, my heart renew, make my spirit right and true; cast me not away from thee, let thy Spirit dwell in me; thy salvation's joy impart, steadfast make my willing heart. 6 Sinners then shall learn from me and return, O God, to thee; Savior, all my guilt remove, and my tongue shall sing thy love; touch my silent lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall praise accord. 7 Not the formal sacrifice hath acceptance in thine eyes; broken hearts are in thy sight more than sacrificial rite; contrite spirit, pleading cries, thou, O God, wilt not despise. 8 Prosper Zion in thy grace and her broken walls replace; then our righteous sacrifice shall delight thy holy eyes; free-will off'rings, gladly made, on thine altar shall be laid.
