God of Mercy and Compassion I by Edmund Vaughan Lyrics

God of Mercy and Compassion (I)
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 hеaven above
Wherе 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 Saviour, bleeding, dying
On the cross of Calvary;
To that cross my sins have nailed 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
