1
God, be merciful to me, On Thy grace I rest my plea; Plenteous in compassion Thou, Blot out my transgressions now;
2
I am evil, born in sin; Thou desirest truth within. Thou alone my Savior art, Teach Thy wisdom to my heart;
3
Gracious God, my heart renew, Make my spirit right and true. Cast me not away from Thee, Let Thy Spirit dwell in me;
4
Sin shall learn from me And return, Thou, And my tongue shall sing Thy love;
C

Chorus

Wash me, make me pure within, Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin. Wash me, make me pure within, Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin. Make me pure, Thy grace bestow, Wash me whiter than the snow. Steadfast make my will obey, And my mouth shall praise accord.
