With broken heart

- With broken heart and contrite sigh,
- a trembling sinner, Lord, I cry;
- Thy pardoning grace is rich and free:
- O God, be merciful to me!
- I smite upon my troubled breast,
- with deep and conscious guilt oppressed;
- Christ and His Cross my only plea:
- O God, be merciful to me!
- Far off I stand with tearful eyes,
- nor dare uplift them to the skies;
- but Thou dost all my anguish see:
- O God, be merciful to me!
- Nor alms, nor deeds that I have done,
- can for a single sin atone:
- to Calvary alone I flee;
- O God, be merciful to me!
- And when, redeemed from sin and hell,
- with all the ransomed throng I dwell,
- my raptured song shall ever be:
- God has been merciful to me!
- (Repeat last line of each verse)
