Lord, I have sinned, but O forgive

Verse 1

LORD, I have sinned; but, O forgive, Nor cast me quite away. Restore my soul, and bid me live, And be my future stay.

Verse 2

O let me from my fall arise, More watchful and more strong; Light up my dim and tearful eyes, And fill my mouth with song.

Verse 3

On Christ's prevailing sacrifice, I all my hopes recline. A broken spirit Thou dost prize; And such, O LORD, be mine!

Verse 4

Give me a meek, dependent heart, For all my days to come; Nor let Thy Spirit e'er depart, Till I am safe at home.
