• Lyrics:
  And wilt Thou pardon, Lord,
  A sinner such as I,
  Although Thy book his crimes record,
  Of such a crimson dye?
  
  So deep are they engraved,
  So terrible their fear,
  The righteous scarcely shall be saved,
  And where shall I appear?
  
  O Thou Physician blest,
  Make clean my guilty soul
  And me, by many a sin oppressed,
  Restore and keep me whole.
  
  I know not how to praise
  Thy mercy and Thy love;
  But deign my soul from earth to raise
  And learn from Thee above.
