Mercy Lord


Be gracious to me o god
in thy true love
in the fullness of thy mercy
blot out my misdeeds
create in me a pure heart o god
give me a new and steadfast spirit
do not drive me from thy presence
or take thy holy spirit from me
against thee i have sinned
and done what displeases thee
thou hast hidden the truth in darkness
through this mystery thou teach me
create in me a pure heart o god
give me a new and steadfast spirit
do not drive me from thy presence
or take thy holy spirit from me
