240 ~ Show Pity, Lord
1
Show pity, Lord; O Lord, forgive! Let a repenting sinner live; Are not thy mercies large and free? May not the guilty trust in thee?
2
My crimes, though great, do not surpass The power and glory of thy grace; O, wash my soul from every sin, And make my guilty conscience clean!
3
My lips with shame my sins confess, Against thy law, against thy grace; Lord, should thy judgment be severe, I am condemned, but thou art clear.
4
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.
