All Believer Hymn Book

Hymn 15 WITH BROKEN HEART Lyrics

1. With broken heart and contrite sigh,
A trembling sinner. Lord, I cry.
Thy pardoning grace is rich and free;
O God, be merciful to me!

2. I smite upon my troubled breast,
With deep and conscience guilt oppressed;
Christ and His cross my only plea:
O God, be merciful to me.

3. Far off I stand with tearful eyes,
Nor dare uplift them to the skies;
But Thou dost all my anguish see:
O God, be merciful to me.

4. Nor alms, nor deeds that I have done,
Can for a single sin atone;
To Calvary alone I flee:
O God, be merciful to me.

5. And when, redeemed from sin and hell,
With all the ransomed throng I dwell,
My raptured song shall ever be,
God has been merciful to me.
