Original text and translations

English.png English text

1. God of mercy, God of love,
Hear our sad repentant song;
Sorrow dwells on every face,
Penitence on every tongue.

2. Deep regret for follies past,
Talents wasted, time misspent;
Hearts debased by worldly cares,
Thankless for the blessings lent.

 

3. Foolish fears, and fond desires,
Vain regrets for things as vain;
Lips too seldom taught to praise,
Oft to murmur and complain.

4. These, and every secret fault,
Filled with grief and shame we own;
Humbled, at Thy feet we lie,
Seeking pardon from Thy throne.

 

5. God of mercy, God of grace,
Hear our sad repentant songs;
O restore thy suppliant race,
Thou to whom all praise belongs.

A penitential hymn by John Taylor
