Have Mercy on Me

Chorus:
Have mercy, Lord;
Cleanse me from all my sins.

V1
Have mercy on me, God, in your kindness.
In your compassion blot out my offence.
O wash me more and more from my guilt,
And cleanse me from my sin. (Chorus)

V2
My offences truly I know them;
My sin is always before me.
Against you, you alone, have I sinned;
What is evil in your sight I have done. (Chorus)

V3
That you may be justified when you give sentence.
And be without reproach when you judge.
O see, in guilt, I was born.
A sinner was I conceived. (Chorus)

V4
Indeed you love truth in the heart.
Then in the secret of my heart teach me wisdom.
O purify me, then I shall be clean.
O wash me, I shall be whiter than snow. (Chorus)
