Tune: Song 46
(\'Drop, drop, slow tears\')
Psalm 51 parts
*******
Have mercy on me, LORD, according to
Your lovingkindness, forgive me anew
According to your mercies multitude
Blot out my sins, come, wash me clean, renewed
For I confess I have sinned against you
And you are righteous when you do me view
I have sinned, here a needy soul, I plead
Come to my help, you my Saviour indeed
Create in me a clean heart, show your ways
Grant me your power to follow all days
Cast me not away, O me not forsake
And from me your Holy Spirit not take
O LORD, open my lips, and my mouth shall
Show forth your praise and your salvation tell
What sacrifices will the Lord God please?
Brokenness, contrition, He accepts these
