Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- O God, most merciful and true,
- Thy nature to my soul impart;
- ’Stablish with me the covenant new,
- And write salvation on my heart.
- 2.
- To real holiness restored,
- O let me gain my Savior’s mind,
- And in the knowledge of my Lord,
- Fullness of life eternal find!
- 3.
- Remember, Lord, my sins no more,
- That them I may no more forget;
- But, sunk in guiltless shame, adore,
- With speechless wonder, at Thy feet.
- 4.
- O’erwhelmed with Thy stupendous grace,
- I shall not in Thy presence move,
- But breathe unutterable praise,
- And rapturous awe, and silent love.
- 5.
- Then every murmuring thought and vain
- Expires, in sweet confusion lost;
- I cannot of my cross complain,
- I cannot of my goodness boast.
- 6.
- Pardoned for all that I have done,
- My mouth as in the dust I hide
- And glory give to God alone,
- My God forever pacified.
Lyrics: Charles Wesley, Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures, 1762.
