Have Mercy On Me

Verse 1

I'm sinful and wretched; from sin and from sorrow, O Lord! well Thou knowest, I fain would be free; No hope can I cherish; save, Lord, or I perish, O Jesus, have mercy on me, even me.

Chorus

Have mercy, my Savior on me, Have mercy, my Savior, on me; No hope can I cherish; save, Lord, or I perish, O Jesus, have mercy on me, even me.

Verse 2

Before Thee I'm lying in tears and in anguish, No Helper, unless Thou my Helper wilt be; Then bear my petition, for peace and for pardon, On me, Lord, have mercy on me, even me.

Verse 3

I long have neglected Thy kind invitation, But oh, I entreat, be not deaf to my plea; Show that Thy compassion can reach to the vilest, Dear Savior, have mercy on me, even me.

Verse 4

I hear Thy dear welcome, oh, can I believe it? Ye sinful and weary, oh, come unto me! I'm sinful, I'm weary, I come, for Thou callest, For Thou wilt have mercy on me, even me.

Verse 5

My glad heart rejoices, my burden has fallen; From sin's galling fetters my soul is set free; O Lord! I will praise Thee, forever I'll praise Thee, For Thou hast had mercy on me, even me.
