O Lord, Turn Not Thy Face From Me,
Who Lie In Woeful State,
Lamenting All My Sinful Life
Before Thy Mercy-Gate:

A Gate Which Opens Wide To Those
That Do Lament Their Sin:
Shut Not That Gate Against Me, Lord;
But Let Me Enter In.

So Come I To Thy Mercy-Gate,
Where Mercy Doth Abound,
Imploring Pardon For My Sin,
To Heal My Deadly Wound.

Mercy, Good Lord, Mercy, I Ask,
This Is The Total Sum;
For Mercy, Lord, Is All My Suit;
Lord, Let Thy Mercy Come!
