Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

O Lord, turn not thy face from me 
O Lord, turn not thy face from me, who lie in woeful state, lamenting all my sinful life before thy mercy gate; 
A gate which opens wide to those that do lament their sin; shut not that gate against me, Lord, but let me enter in. 
So come I to thy mercy-gate, where mercy doth abound, requiring mercy for my sin to heal my deadly wound. 
Mercy, good Lord, mercy I ask; this is the total sum; for mercy, Lord, is all my suit, Lord, let thy mercy come.
