Before Thee, God, Who Knowest All

  1. Before thee, God, who knowest all,
    with grief and shame I prostrate fall.
    I see my sins against thee, Lord,
    the sins of thought, of deed, and word.
    They press me sore; I cry to thee:
    O God, be merciful to me!
  2. O Lord, my God, to thee I pray:
    O cast me not in wrath away!
    Let thy good Spirit ne’er depart,
    but let him draw to thee my heart,
    that truly penitent I be:
    O God, be merciful to me!
  3. O Jesus, let thy precious blood
    be to my soul a cleansing flood.
    Turn not, O Lord, thy guest away,
    but grant that justified I may
    go to my house at peace with thee:
    O God, be merciful to me!
