Original and Actual Sin Confessed and Pardoned

Verse 1

Lord, I would spread my sore distress And guilt before Thine eyes; Against Thy laws, against Thy grace, How high my crimes arise!

Verse 2

I from the stock of Adam came, Unholy and unclean; All my original is shame, And all my nature sin.

Verse 3

Cleanse me, O Lord, and cheer my soul With Thy forgiving love; And make my broken spirit whole, And bid my pains remove.

Verse 4

Let not Thy spirit e'er depart, Nor drive me from Thy face; Create anew my sinful heart, And fill it with Thy grace.
