[Show pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive]
1.
Show pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive,O pity me, dear Saviour!
Let a repenting rebel live;
O pity me, dear Saviour!
Is there any mercy here,
O pity me, dear Lord, and I'll sing halle hallelujah!
O pity me, dear Lord, and I'll sing halle hallelujah!
2.
Are not thy mercies large and free?O pity me, dear Saviour!
May not a sinner trust in thee?
O pity me, dear Saviour!
Is there any mercy here, &c.
3.
My crimes are great, but don't surpassO pity me, dear Saviour,
The power and glory of thy grace;
O pity me, dear Saviour, &c.
4.
Great God, thy nature hath no bound,O pity me, dear Saviour,
So let thy pard'ning love be found,
O pity me, dear Saviour, &c.
5.
O! wash my soul from every sin!O pity me, dear Saviour,
And make my guilty conscience clean!
O pity me, dear Saviour, &c.
6.
Here on my heart the burden lies,O pity me, dear Saviour,
And past offences pain my eyes,
O pity me, dear Saviour, &c.
7.
My lips with shame my sins confess,O pity me, dear Saviour,
Against thy law, against thy grace;
O pity me, dear Saviour, &c.
8.
Lord, should thy judgments grow severe,O pity me, dear Saviour,
I am condemn'd, but thou art clear.
O pity me, dear Saviour, &c.
9.
Should sudden vengeance seize my breath,O pity me, dear Saviour,
I must pronounce thee just in death
O pity me, dear Saviour, &c.
10.
And if my soul were sent to hell,O pity me, dear Saviour,
Thy righteous law approves it well
O pity me, dear Saviour, &c.
11.
Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord,O pity me, dear Saviour,
Whose hope, still hov'ring round thy word,
O pity me, dear Saviour, &c.
12.
Would light on some sweet promise there,O pity me, dear Saviour,
Some sure support against despair,
O pity me, dear Saviour, &c.
