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

[Verse 2]
Broken, humbled to the dust
By Thy wrath and judgment just
Let my contrite heart rejoice
And in gladness hear Thy voice

[Chorus 2]
From my sins, oh, hide Thy face
Blot them out in boundless grace
From my sins, oh, hide Thy face
Blot them out in boundless grace

[Verse 3]
Gracious God, my heart renew
Make my spirit right and true
Cast me not away from Thee
Let Thy Spirit dwell in me
[Chorus 3]
Thy salvation's joy impart
Steadfast make my willing heart
Thy salvation's joy impart
Steadfast make my willing heart

[Verse 4]
Sinners then shall learn from me
And return, O God, to Thee
Savior, all my guilt remove
And my tongue shall sing Thy love

[Chorus 4]
Touch my silent lips, O Lord
And my mouth shall praise accord
Touch my silent lips, O Lord
And my mouth shall praise accord
And my mouth shall praise accord

[Outro]
God be merciful to me
