2 I smite upon my troubled breast, 4 Nor alms, nor deeds that I have done, With deep and conscious guilt opprest, Can for a single sin atone;
Christ and His cross my only plea; To Calvary alone I flee;
O God, be merciful to me. , O God, be merciful to me. |

3 Far off I stand with tearful eyes, Nor dare to lift them to the skies; But Thou dost all my anguish see;
i. 0 God, be merciful to me. |
5 And when, redeemed from sin and hell, With all the ransomed throng I dwell, My raptured song shall ever be, God has been merciful to me.
Rev. Cornelius Elven, 1852 |

2 Fresh the wounds that sin hath made; " Hear the prayers I oft have prayed,
And in mercy send me aid.
3 Helpless, none can help me now;
I Cheerless, none can cheer but Thou; Suppliant, Lord, to Thee I bow. |
4 Thou the true physician art; Thou, 0 Christ, canst health impart, Binding up the bleeding heart.
5 Other comforters are gone; Thou canst heal, and Thou alone, Thou for all my sin atone.
Rev. Godfrey Thring, 1866 |
