Prayer For Purity

Tune: Song 46

(\'Drop, drop, slow tears\')

Psalm 19 v.12-14

*************

Who can understand their errors? Cleanse me

LORD, from secret sins, then I from them free

 

Keep back me too from sins presumptuous

For I your servant am, I do confess

 

Let sins not have over me dominion

But forgive, cleanse, and heal me from each one

 

Then I shall be upright and innocent

From great sins, grant me grace to here repent

 

Let the words of my mouth, meditation

Of my heart be acceptable, be done (i.e. Amen)

 

Acceptable in your sight, you my LORD

My strength, my redeemer, my living Word
