Hymnal: The New Sabbath School Hosanna #39 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Show pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive;
Let a repenting rebel live;
Are not thy mercies large and free?
May not a sinner trust in thee?
2 Oh, wash my soul from every stain,
And make thy guilty conscience clean!
Here on my heart the burden lies,
And past offences pain my eyes.
3 My lips with shame my sins confess
Against thy law, against thy grace;
Lord, should thy judgment grow severe,
I am condemn'd, but then art clear.
4 Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord,
Whose hope, still hovering round thy word,
Would light on some sweet promise there,
Some sure support against despair.
Tune Title: WINDHAM
Show pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive
