LyicsMERCY 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.
