English text

1  God of pity, God of grace, When we humbly seek Thy face, Bend from Heav’n, Thy dwelling place; Hear, forgive, and save. 2  When we in Thy temple meet, Spread our wants before Thy feet, Pleading at Thy mercy seat, Look from Heav’n and save. 3  When Thy love our hearts shall fill, And we long to do Thy will, Turning to Thy holy hill, Lord, accept and save.

4  Should we wander from Thy fold, And our love to Thee grow cold, With a pitying eye behold; Lord, forgive and save. 5  Should the hand of sorrow press, Earthly care and want distress, May our souls Thy peace possess; Jesus, hear and save. 6  And, whate’er our cry may be, When we lift our hearts to Thee, From our burden set us free; Hear, forgive, and save.
