Lyics

Have mercy on me, O my God;

In loving kindness hear my prayer;

Withdraw the terror of thy rod;

Lord, in thy tender mercy spare.



A perfect heart in me create, 

Renew my soul in innocence;

Cast not the suppliant from thy gate,

Nor take thy holy Spirit hence.



Thy consolations, as of old,

Now to my troubled mind restore;

By thy free Spirit's might uphold,

And guide my steps to fall no more.



The broken heart in sacrifice

Alone may thine acceptance meet;

My heart, O God, do not despise,

Broken and contrite at thy feet!
