Lord, I de­serve thy deep­est wrath,
Ungrateful, faith­less I have been;
No ter­rors have my soul de­terred,
Nor good­ness wooed me from my sin.
No ter­rors have my soul de­terred,
Nor good­ness wooed me from my sin.

My heart is vile, my mind de­praved,
My flesh re­bels against Thy will;
I am pol­lut­ed in Thy sight,
Yet, Lord have mer­cy on me still!
I am pol­lut­ed in Thy sight,
Yet, Lord have mer­cy on me still!

Without de­fense to Thee I look,
To Thee the on­ly Sav­ior fly;
Without a hope, with­out a friend,
In deep dis­tress to Thee I cry,
Without a hope, with­out a friend,
In deep dis­tress to Thee I cry.

Speak peace to me, my sins for­give,
Dwell Thou with­in my heart, O God,
The guilt and pow’r of sin re­move,
And fit me for Thy blest abode,
The guilt and pow’r of sin re­move,
And fit me for Thy blest abode.
