Hymn 319
Sinful, sighing to be blest
- Sinful, sighing to be blest.
Bound, and longing to be free;
Weary, waiting for my rest;
God be merciful to me.
- Goodness I have none to plead;
Sinfulness in all I see,
I can only bring my need;
God be merciful to me.
- Broken heart and downcast eyes
Dare not lift themselves to Thee;
Yet Thou canst interpret sighs
God be merciful to me.
- From this sinful heart of mine.
To Thy bosom I would flee;
I am not my own but Thine,
God be merciful to me.
- There is One beside the Throne,
And my only hope and plea;
Are in Him, and Him alone:
God be merciful to me.
- He my cause will undertake.
My interpreter will be,
He's my all and for His sake;
God be merciful to me.
