35. According To Thy Lovingkindness

According to thy lovingkindness, Father, Have mercy on my sinful, wretched soul. Make me to know once more thy joy and gladness, Blot out my sin, O cleanse, and make me whole.

I humbly now acknowledge my transgression, Against thee only, Father, is my sin. Restore to me the joy of thy salvation. O purify my life, without, within.

A contrite heart I offer thee, dear Father, O, hide thy face from all my sin I pray. According to thy tender love and mercy, O pardon Lord, this soul that went astray.

I humbly now acknowledge my transgression, Against thee only, Father, is my sin. Restore to me the joy of thy salvation. O purify my life, without, within.
