God of Mercy

God of mercy and compassion

Look with pity upon me

Father, let me call thee Father

‘Tis thy child returns to thee.

Jesus, Lord, I ask for mercy, let me not

implore in vain. All my sins I now detest

them, never will I sin again

By my sins I have deserved death

and endless misery hell with all its

pains and torments and for all eternity

By my sins I have abandoned right

and claim to heaven above

Where the saints rejoice forever

in a boundless sea of love

See our Saviour bleeding, dying,

on the cross of Calvary, To that cross

my sins have nailed him,

yet he bleeds and dies for me.
