Forgive us, Lord, to Thee we cry

Verse 1

Forgive us, Lord! to thee we cry; Forgive us thro' thy matchless grace, On thee alone our souls rely; Be thou our strength and righteousness.

Verse 2

Forgive thou us, as we forgive The ills we suffer from our foes; Restore us, Lord, and bid us live; O! let us in thine arms repose.

Verse 3

Forgive us, for our guilt is great, Our wretched souls no merit claim; For sovereign mercy still we wait, And ask but in the Saviour's name.
