[Verse 1]
God be merciful to me
On Thy grace, I rest my plea
Plenteous in compassion Thou
Blot out my transgressions now

[Chorus 1]
Wash me, make me pure within
Cleanse, oh, cleanse me from my sin

[Verse 2]
My transgressions I confess
Grief and guilt my soul oppress
I have sinned against Thy grace
And provoked Thee to Thy face

[Chorus 2]
I confess Thy judgment just
Speechless I Thy mercy trust

[Verse 3]
I am evil born in sin
Thou desirest truth within
Thou alone my Savior art
Teach Thy wisdom to my heart
[Chorus 3]
Make me pure, Thy grace bestow
Wash me whiter than the snow

[Bridge]
Gracious God, my heart renew
Make my spirit right and true
Thy salvation's joy impart
Steadfast make my willing heart
Steadfast make my willing heart

[Verse 4]
Broken, humbled to the dust
By Thy wrath and judgment just
Let my contrite heart rejoice
And in gladness hear Thy voice

[Chorus 4]
From my sins, oh, hide Thy face
Blot them out in boundless grace
