1 From my sins hide Thou Thy face,
Blot them out in Thy rich grace;
Free my heart, O God, from sin,
Spirit right renew within.
Cast me not away from Thee,
Nor Thy Spirit take from me.

2 Freed from guilt, my tongue shall raise
Songs Thy righteousness to praise;
Open Thou my lips, O Lord,
Then my mouth shall praise accord;
Sacrifice Thou wilt not take,
Else would I the off’ring make.

3 Sacrifice or burnt off’ring
Can to Thee no pleasure bring;
But a spirit crushed for sin,
Contrite, broken heart within.
Thine accepted sacrifice,
Thou, O God, wilt not despise.
