God of Mercy and Compassion

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 nail'd 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
