O Thou That Hear’st When Sinners Cry
- O thou that hear’st when sinners cry,
though all my crimes before thee lie,
behold them not with angry look,
but blot their mem’ry from thy book. - Create my nature pure within,
and form my soul averse to sin;
let thy good Spirit ne’er depart,
nor hide thy presence from my heart. - I cannot live without thy light,
cast out and banished from thy sight;
thy holy joys, my God, restore,
and guard me, that I fall no more. - A broken heart, my God, my King,
is all the sacrifice I bring;
the God of grace will ne’er despise
a broken heart for sacrifice. - My soul lies humbled in the dust,
and owns thy dreadful sentence just:
look down, O Lord, with pitying eye,
and save the soul condemned to die. - Then will I teach the world thy ways;
sinners shall learn thy sov’reign grace;
I’ll lead them to my Savior’s blood,
and they shall praise a pard’ning God.
