God of Mercy and Compassion Lyrics

God of mercy and compassion

Look with pity upon me

Father, let me call Thee Father

Tis Thy child returns to Thee

Jesus, Lord, I ask for mercy

Let me not implore in vain

All my sins I now detest them

Never will I sin again

By my sins I have deserved

Death and endless misery

Hell, with all its pains and torments

And for all eternity

Jesus, Lord, I ask for mercy

Let me not implore in vain

All my sins I now detest them

Never will I sin again

By my sins I have abandoned

Right and claim to Heav'n above

Where the saints rejoice forever

In a boundless sea of love

Jesus, Lord, I ask for mercy

Let me not implore in vain

All my sins I now detest them

Never will I sin again

See our Savior, bleeding, dying

On the cross of Calvary

To that cross my sins have nailed Him

Yet He bleeds and dies for me

Jesus, Lord, I ask for mercy

Let me not implore in vain

All my sins I now detest them

Never will I sin again
