1 Jesus, Saviour, pity me,
Hear me when I cry to Thee;
I've a very wicked heart,
Full of sin in every part.

Refrain:
Dear Jesus, hear me:
Dear Jesus, hear me;
Dear Jesus, hear me,
Oh, listen to my prayers.

2 I can never make it good;
Wilt Thou wash me in Thy blood?
Jesus, Saviour, pity me,
Hear me when I pray to Thee. [Refrain]

3 When I try to do Thy will,
Sin is in my bosom still,
And I soon do something bad;
Then my heart is dark and sad. [Refrain]

4 Now I come to Thee for aid,
All my hope on Thee is stayed;
Thou hast bled and died for me,
I will give myself to Thee. [Refrain]
