A prayer for Mercy
"God of everlasting glory,
Hear this poor and needy soul;
Grant to me Thy great salvation,
Come and make this sinner whole.
Manifest Thy loving kindness,
For Thy mercy I apply;
Meet my need and heal my spirit,
Or this sinful soul will die.
In Thy holy Word ‘tis written,
That for sinners Jesus died;
And His sacrifice on Calv’ry,
All Thy justice satisfied.
When the Savior paid their ransom,
He redeemed Thy family;
Look upon the righteous Savior,
And show mercy Lord to me.
By the grace of Thine own Spirit,
To the Savior I will flee;
Jesus blood and His obedience,
Shall be all this sinner’s plea.
Only Christ alone can save me,
I shall live at His command.
In His garments of salvation,
Pure before Thy throne I stand."
-Tune, "COME THOU FOUNT" 8.7.8.7. double
