Thou gracious God and kind

Verse 1

Thou gracious God, and kind, Oh cast our sins away; Nor call our former guilt to mind, Thy justice to display.

Verse 2

Thy tenderest mercies show, Thy richest grace prepare, Ere yet, with guilty fears laid low, We perish in despair.

Verse 3

Save us from guilt and shame, Thy glory to display; And for the great Redeemer's name, Wash all our sins away.

Verse 4

So we Thy flock, Thy choice, The people of Thy love, Through life shall in Thy care rejoice; But praise Thee best above.
