  1. Lord, like the publican I stand,
    And lift my heart to Thee;
    Thy pardoning grace, O God, command,
    Be merciful to me.

  2. I smite upon my anxious breast,
    O’erwhelmed with agony;
    O save my soul by sin oppressed,
    Be merciful to me.

  3. My guilt, my shame, I all confess,
    I have no hope nor plea
    But Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
    Be merciful to me.

  4. chief of sinners thou i be
    count not my sins o lord
    but for the sake of Jesus death
    be merciful to me

  5. Here at Thy cross I still would wait,
    Nor from its shelter flee,
    But Thou, O God, in mercy great,
    Art merciful to me. Amin.
