SINFUL sighing to be blest;
Bound, and longing to be free;
Weary, waiting for my rest:
God, be merciful to me.
2 Holiness I've none to plead,
Sinfulness in all I see,
I can only bring my need:
God, be merciful to me.
3 Broken heart and downcast eyes
Dare not lift themselves to thee;
Yet thou canst interpret sighs:
God, be merciful to me.
4 From this sinful heart of mine
To thy bosom I would flee;
I am not mine own, but thine:
God, be merciful to me.
5 There is One beside thy throne,
And my only hope and plea
Are in him and him alone:
God, be merciful to me.
6. He my cause will undertake,
My interpreter will be;
He’s my all, and for his sake,
God, be merciful to me.
