Lyrics:
Lord, in humility I stand,
And lift my heart to thee;
Thy pardn'ing grace, O God, command,
Be merciful to me.
Thy way of holiness 'tis best
But I've not hallowed thee.
Now is my soul by sin distressed
Be merciful to me.
My guilt, my shame, I all confess;
I have no hope nor plea
But Jesus' blood and righteousness;
Be merciful to me.
Here at thy cross I now take my stand
Nor from its shelter flee,
Till thou, O God, at my right hand
Art merciful to me.
