1
O Thou who hear'st when sinners cry,
Tho' all my crimes before Thee lie,
Behold them not with angry look,
But blot their mem'ry from Thy book.


O Thou that hear'st when Sinners Cry,, Stanza 1

Create my nature pure within,
And form my soul averse to sin,
Let Thy good Spirit ne'er depart,
Nor hide Thy presence from my heart.


O Thou that hear'st when Sinners Cry,, Stanza 2

I cannot live without Thy light,
Cast out and banished from Thy sight;
Thy holy joys, my God, restore,
And guard me that I fall no more.


O Thou that hear'st when Sinners Cry,, Stanza 3
