Lyics

Mercy alone can meet my case,

For mercy, Lord, I cry;

Jesus, Redeemer, show thy face

In mercy, or I die.



I perish, and my doom were just;

But wilt Thou leave me? -- No!

I hold thee fast, my hope, my trust;

I will not let thee go.



To thee, thee only will I cleave;

Thy word is all my plea'

That word is truth, and I believe --

Have mercy, Lord, on me.
