According to thy loving kindness, Father
Have mercy on this sinful wretched soul.
Make me to know, once more thy joy and gladness
Blot out my sin, oh cleanse and make me whole.
Refrain:
I humbly now acknowledge my transgression
Against thee only Father is my sin.
Restore to me the joy of thy salvation
Oh purify my life – without, within.
A contrite heart I offer thee, Heavenly Father
Oh hide thy face from all my sin, I pray.
According to thy tender love and mercy
Oh pardon now this soul that went astray. Refrain
