1. According to Thy lovingkindness Father,
Have mercy on my sinful, wretched soul;
Make me to know once more Thy joy and gladness,
Blot out my sin, O cleanse and make me whole.
I humbly now acknowledge my transgression,
Against Thee only, Father is my sin;
Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation
O purify my life, without within.
2. A contrite heart I offer Thee,
Dear Father O hide Thy face from all my sin,I pray;
According to Thy tender love and mercy,
O pardon Lord, This soul that went astray.
