God of mercy and compassion, look with pity upon me
Father let me call Thee Father 'tis this 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, for all eternity.
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 abandoned, right and claim to Heaven above
Where the Saints rejoice for ever, in a boundless sea of love.
Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, let me not implore in vain
All my sins I now detest them, never will I sin again.
See our Savior bleeding, dying, on the cross of Calvary
To that cross my sins have nailed Him, yet He bleeds and dies for me.
Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, let me not implore in vain
All my sins I now detest them, never will I sin again.
