Lord, I approach thy throne of grace,

Lord, I approach thy throne of grace,
Where mercy does abound,
Desiring mercy for my sin,
To heal my soul's deep wound.

O Lord, I need not to repeat
What I would humbly crave,
For thou dost know, before I ask,
The thing that I would have.

Mercy, good Lord, mercy I ask;
This is the total sum;
For mercy, Lord, is all my suit;
O let thy mercy come.
