Lyrics

God, my Fa­ther, hear me pray,
Wash my crim­son guilt away;
Wretched, help­less, lost, un­done,
Hear me for Thy bless­èd Son.
Lord, un­num­bered sins are mine,
But eter­nal love is Thine.

God, my Sav­ior, look on me;
All my guilt I cast on Thee!
Give my trou­bled spir­it peace;
Bid my fears and sor­rows cease.
Lord, un­num­bered sins are mine,
But eter­nal love is Thine.

God, my com­fort­er, my light,
Strengthen me with ho­ly might;
Make Thy dwel­ling in my heart;
Faith and joy and hope im­part.
Lord, un­numbered sins are mine,
But eter­nal love is Thine.

Blessèd, glo­ri­ous Trin­ity!
Holy, ev­er­last­ing Three!
Hear, O hear my ear­nest pray­er!
And my soul for Heav­en pre­pare!
Lord, un­num­bered sins are mine,
But eter­nal love is Thine.
