  1. Sinful, sighing to be blessed;
    bound, and longing to be free;
    weary, waiting for my rest:
    God be merciful to me.

  2. Goodness I have none to plead,
    sinfulness in all I see,
    I can only bring my need:
    God be merciful to me.

  3. Broken heart and downcast eyes
    dare not lift themselves to thee;
    yet thou canst interpret sighs:
    God be merciful to me.

  4. From this sinful heart of mine
    to thy bosom I would flee:
    I am not mine own, but thine:
    God be merciful to me.

  5. There is One beside the throne,
    and my only hope and plea
    are in him and him alone:
    God be merciful to me.

  6. He my cause will undertake,
    my interpreter will be;
    he's my all; and for his sake
    God be merciful to me.
