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

With broken heart and contrite sigh 
With broken heart and contrite sigh, a trembling sinner, Lord, I cry; thy pard'ning grace is rich and free: O God, merciful to me. 
I smite upon my troubled breast, with deep and conscious guilt oppressed, Christ and his cross my only plea: O God, merciful to me. 
Far off I stand with tearful eyes, nor dare uplift them to the skies; but thou dost all my anguish see: O God, merciful to me. 
Nor alms, nor deeds that I have done, can for a single sin atone; to Calvary alone I flee: O God, merciful to me. 
And when, redeemed from sin and hell, with all the ransomed throng I dwell, my raptured song shall ever be, God has been merciful to me.
