Hear me, Lord, as humbly now I call to you
Confession
1 Hear me, Lord, as humbly now I call to you;
take my prayer, its simple words refine.
Keep me safe from all that tempts and taunts me;
Lord, have mercy on this soul of mine.
2 As a child I come to you to comfort me:
let me know your tender love, divine.
All my faults and failings stand before you;
Lord, have mercy on this soul of mine.
3 Loose my chains; I know that in your gracious reign
perfect love and righteousness entwine;
in your death are liberty and pardon;
Lord, have mercy on this soul of mine.
4 Though I sing in praise to you my Lord and King,
though my voice with heavenly choirs combine,
yet I bow in humble prayer before you;
Lord, have mercy on this soul of mine.
