Tune: Detroit
('Forgive our sins as we forgive')
Psalm 51 v.1-4 and v.11
*********
Have mercy on me, loving-kind
Lord, I do so you find
According to your mercies blot
Out my sins, the whole lot
Forgive me, wash me from my sin
And cleanse me deep within
For I confess my sins, I do
They all be against you
So that you, Lord, are justified
When you speak, none beside
Can cleanse me from my sins, but you
Forgive sins not a few
And too you be clear when judging
Myself I to you bring
Dependent, trusting for mercy
For your restoring free
Create clean heart, O God, in me
And set me steadfastly
To follow you, your Spirit take
Not [from me], but more like Christ make
