1 And wilt Thou pardon, Lord,
A sinner such as I?
Although Thy book his crimes record
Of such a crimson dye.
A sinner such as I?
Although Thy book his crimes record
Of such a crimson dye.
2 So deep are they engraved,
So terrible their fear:
The righteous scarcely can be saved,
And where shall I appear?
So terrible their fear:
The righteous scarcely can be saved,
And where shall I appear?
3 O Thou Physician blest,
Make clean my guilty soul!
And me, by many a sin oppressed,
Restore, and keep me whole.
Make clean my guilty soul!
And me, by many a sin oppressed,
Restore, and keep me whole.
