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.
