Ah! turn me not
Away, receive me,
Tho' unworthy,
Ah! turn me not
Away, receive me,
Tho' unworthy!
Hear Thou my cry,
Hear Thou my cry,
Behold, Lord,
My distress!
Answer me from
Thy throne.
Haste Thee, Lord,
To mine aid,
Thy pity show
In my deep anguish!
Thy pity show
In my deep anguish!
Let not the sword
Of vengeance
Smite me,
Tho' righteous
Thine anger,
O Lord!
Shield me in
Danger,
O regard me!
To Thee, Lord,
Alone will I call.
O, divine Redeemer!
O, divine Redeemer!
I pray Thee,
Grant me pardon,
And remember not,
Remember not
My sins!
Forgive me,
O, divine Redeemer!
I pray Thee,
Grant me pardon,
And remember not,
Remember not,
O Lord, my sins!
Night gathers
Round my soul,
Fearful,
I cry to Thee:
Come to mine aid,
O Lord!
Haste Thee, Lord,
Haste to help me!
Hear my cry,
Hear my cry!
Save me, Lord,
In Thy mercy,
Hear my cry,
Hear my cry!
Come and save me,
O Lord!
O, divine Redeemer!
O, divine Redeemer!
I pray Thee,
Grant me pardon
And remember not,
Remember not,
O Lord, my sins!
Save, in the day
Of retribution,
From Death shield
Thou me, O my God!
O, divine Redeemer,
Have mercy!
Help me, my Savior!
