Lord, When We Bend

Joseph D. Carlyle (1802) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 32:1

Verse 1

Lord, when we bend before thy throne, And our confessions pour, Teach us to feel the sins we own, And hate what we deplore.

Chorus

Have mercy, have mercy, Have mercy, have mercy.

Verse 2

Our broken spirits, pitying see; True penitence impart; And let a kindling glance from thee Light hope within the heart.

Chorus

Have mercy, have mercy, Have mercy, have mercy.

Verse 3

When we disclose our wants in prayer, May we our wills resign; And not a thought our hearts will share That is not wholly thine.

Chorus

Have mercy, have mercy, Have mercy, have mercy.
