HYMN Lyrics Text: God Of Mercy & Compassion | Lenten Song

1. God of mercy and compassion

Look with pity upon me.

Father, let me call thee: Father.

Tis Thy child returned to Thee

Jesus Lord I ask for mercy

Let me not implore in vain

All my sins I now detest them

Never will I sin again.

2. By my sins I have deserved

death and endless misery

hell with all its pains

and torments and for all eternity

3. By my sins I have abandoned

right and claim to heaven above

where the saints rejoice forever

in a boundless sea of Love

4. See our Saviour bleeding,

dying on the cross of Calvary

To that cross

my sins have nailed Him

Yet He bleeds and dies for me
